Origin
Meaning and origin of Endozo
The surname ENDOZO is believed to have originated in Spain during the medieval period, specifically in the region of Galicia in the northwest. It is thought to be derived from the Spanish word "endozo," which means "within" or "inside." This could suggest that the name was originally given to someone who lived within a particular town or village, or perhaps within the walls of a castle or fortified settlement.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name ENDOZO can be found in a document from the 13th century, where it appears as "Endozo de Villanueva." This suggests that the name may have been associated with a particular place called Villanueva, which could have been the name of a town or village in Galicia.
During the 15th century, a notable figure bearing the surname ENDOZO was Rodrigo ENDOZO, a nobleman and landowner who owned several estates in the Galician countryside. Records from this time also mention a Juan ENDOZO, who was a respected scholar and theologian at the University of Santiago de Compostela.
In the 16th century, the name ENDOZO gained prominence with the birth of Inés ENDOZO (1520-1585), a celebrated poet and writer who was part of the literary circle in the court of King Philip II. Her works, which explored themes of love and spirituality, were widely read and admired throughout Spain.
Another significant figure was Pedro ENDOZO (1562-1638), a Spanish explorer and navigator who accompanied several expeditions to the New World. He is credited with mapping parts of the Caribbean and contributing to the early colonization efforts in the region.
The 17th century saw the rise of Baltasar ENDOZO (1610-1678), a renowned architect who designed several important buildings in Madrid and other cities in Spain. His most famous work is the Church of San Isidro, which is considered a masterpiece of Baroque architecture.
While the surname ENDOZO is not as common today as it once was, it remains a part of Spain's rich cultural heritage, with its origins deeply rooted in the history and traditions of the Galician region.

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 Endozo surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Does the Census include every surname?
