The surname Cazarin has its roots in the Iberian Peninsula, originating from the Catalan and Spanish regions during the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Latin word "casa," meaning house or dwelling, combined with the suffix "-rin," indicating a diminutive or small form. This suggests that the name was initially associated with someone who resided in a small or modest abode.

During this time, the name was often spelled as "Casarin" or "Cazarí," reflecting the regional linguistic variations.

One notable figure was Juan Cazarin (1435-1502), a wealthy merchant and landowner from the town of Zaragoza, who was granted a coat of arms by the Spanish Crown in recognition of his contributions to the local community.

As the name spread throughout the Iberian Peninsula, it underwent various spelling variations, such as "Cazarino" and "Cazarinho," particularly in the Portuguese regions. One prominent individual was Pedro Cazarinho (1520-1588), a renowned Portuguese explorer and navigator who accompanied Ferdinand Magellan on his historic circumnavigation of the globe.

In the 17th century, the Cazarin name found its way to the Americas, carried by Spanish and Portuguese colonists and settlers. One such individual was Diego Cazarin (1625-1692), a Spanish soldier and adventurer who participated in the exploration and settlement of parts of present-day Mexico and California.
