The surname DELOZA is believed to have originated in Spain, possibly in the region of Andalusia, during the 15th or 16th century.

This suggests that the name may have been associated with a family or individual involved in the pottery or ceramics trade.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the DELOZA surname can be found in the municipal archives of Seville, Spain, dating back to the late 16th century. In these records, a certain Juan DELOZA is mentioned as a potter and merchant of ceramic wares.

In the 17th century, the name DELOZA appears in several historical documents and records from the town of Baeza, located in the province of Jaén, Andalusia. These records indicate that a family by the name of DELOZA owned and operated a successful pottery workshop in the region.

Moving forward to the 18th century, a notable figure bearing the DELOZA surname was Francisco DELOZA y Cárdenas (1702-1776), a renowned Spanish painter and sculptor from Cordoba. His works can still be found in various churches and museums throughout Andalusia.

Another historical figure of note was Pedro DELOZA (1776-1842), a Spanish military officer who fought in the Peninsular War against the French forces of Napoleon. He rose to the rank of colonel and was decorated for his bravery and leadership on the battlefield.
