Origin
Meaning and origin of Gyuro
The surname Gyuro has its origins in Hungary, with the earliest recorded examples dating back to the 16th century. The name is believed to be derived from the Hungarian word "gyura," which means "to knead" or "to squeeze." This suggests that the name may have originally been an occupational surname, given to those who worked as bakers or millers.
One of the earliest documented instances of the name Gyuro can be found in the Hungarian census records of 1548, where a man named Gyuro Istvan is listed as a resident of the village of Tiszadob. This village, located in present-day northeastern Hungary, was once part of the historic Szabolcs County.
In the 17th century, the Gyuro surname appears in various Hungarian parish records and land registries. For example, a man named Gyuro Janos was recorded as a landowner in the village of Hajdúhadház in 1632. This village, now part of Hajdú-Bihar County, was once part of the Hajdú region, which was inhabited by a semi-nomadic military community.
One notable figure bearing the Gyuro surname was Gyuro Mihaly, a Hungarian nobleman who lived in the late 18th century. He was a landowner and a member of the local nobility in the town of Miskolc, located in present-day Borsod-Abaúj-Zemplén County.
Another individual of historical significance was Gyuro Istvan, a Hungarian soldier who fought in the Hungarian Revolution of 1848-1849 against the Austrian Empire. He was born in 1822 in the village of Csenger, which was then part of the Szatmár County, and died in battle in 1849.
In the 19th century, the Gyuro surname also appeared in various Hungarian literary works and historical documents. For instance, a character named Gyuro Sandor is mentioned in the novel "Az élet küzdelmei" (The Struggles of Life) by the Hungarian writer Kálmán Mikszáth, published in 1890.
While the Gyuro surname is primarily associated with Hungary, it is possible that variations of the name may have existed in other regions as well. For example, the surname Gyurov is found in Bulgaria, which shares linguistic and cultural ties with Hungary due to their common Finno-Ugric language roots.

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