common land


Explanation:
Hi Thedore,

on the Collins, "ejido" is "common place". Anyway, if this is a real proper noun of a place, a toponym, I think I would leave it in Spanish.

Hope it helped :)

agree  Sheilann: Looks like a place name. Civil servants have never been famed for their typing skills.

agree  Hermeneutica: leave in Spanish, i.e. Angostura Ejido, perhaps adding (Common) in parens.

  -> yes, or translate it, but there are several options, see the previous discussion on ProZ:)
agree  Rick Henry: I'd also leave it as ejido. My previous answer (previously cited proZ question) refered to common tenancy. This refers to common/public land.

Explanation:
I agree to just leave it as it is. It´s the name of the place this person was born, so it doesn´t require a translation.
