Origin
Meaning and origin of Corripio
The surname Corripio has its origins in Spain, tracing back to the 16th century or earlier. It is believed to be derived from the Spanish word "corrio," meaning "to flow" or "to run," suggesting a possible connection to a person's occupation or place of residence near a flowing body of water, such as a river or stream.
The earliest known record of the Corripio surname can be found in the archives of the Spanish Inquisition, where a certain Juan Corripio was mentioned as a resident of Seville in the late 1500s. This suggests that the name had already been established in the region during that time period.
In the 17th century, the Corripio name appeared in several historical documents related to the Spanish colonization of the Americas. One notable individual was Pedro Corripio, a Spanish explorer who accompanied Hernán Cortés on his expeditions to Mexico in the early 1500s.
Another significant figure bearing the Corripio surname was Juana Corripio, a prominent landowner and philanthropist who lived in the city of Cádiz during the late 1600s. Historical records indicate that she donated a substantial portion of her wealth to the construction of a local orphanage and hospital.
During the 19th century, the Corripio name gained prominence in the field of literature. Antonio Corripio, a renowned Spanish poet and playwright, was born in Madrid in 1825 and is best known for his works celebrating the beauty of the Spanish countryside and rural life.
In more recent times, the Corripio surname has been associated with notable figures in various fields. One such individual was Manuel Corripio, a successful businessman and industrialist who founded the Corripio Group, one of the largest conglomerates in the Dominican Republic, in the early 20th century.
Additionally, Juan Corripio, a Spanish-born architect and urban planner, made significant contributions to the development of modern architecture in Mexico during the mid-20th century, with his works showcasing a fusion of traditional and contemporary styles.
While the origins of the Corripio surname can be traced back to Spain, it has since spread to various parts of the world, including Latin America and other regions influenced by Spanish culture and migration.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Corripio surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
