Origin
Meaning and origin of Jusino
The surname Jusino has its origins in Spain, tracing back to the Middle Ages. It is believed to have derived from the name of the town Jusino, located in the region of Cantabria. This town's name is thought to have its roots in the Latin word "jucundus," meaning pleasant or delightful, potentially referring to the pleasant surroundings or climate of the area.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Jusino can be found in the "Becerro de las Behetrías de Castilla," a fourteenth-century document that cataloged the landholdings and properties in the kingdom of Castile. This record mentions individuals with the surname Jusino as landowners in the region of Cantabria during that time period.
In the fifteenth century, the surname Jusino appears in various records and documents from the northern regions of Spain, particularly in areas around the modern-day provinces of Cantabria and Asturias. It is likely that the name spread from its original location in Cantabria to nearby areas as families relocated or established new branches.
Notable individuals with the surname Jusino throughout history include Pedro Jusino, a Spanish explorer who accompanied Hernán Cortés in the conquest of Mexico in the early sixteenth century. Another notable figure was Juan Jusino, a prominent merchant and banker who lived in Seville during the seventeenth century and was involved in the lucrative trade with the Spanish colonies in the Americas.
In the eighteenth century, the surname Jusino appeared in records from the Spanish colonies in the New World, particularly in areas such as Cuba and Puerto Rico. One example is Francisco Jusino, a colonial administrator and landowner in Puerto Rico who lived during the late 1700s.
Moving into the nineteenth century, Javier Jusino was a renowned Spanish poet and author who was born in Santander, Cantabria, in 1820. His works, which often drew inspiration from his native region, were widely celebrated during his lifetime and contributed to the cultural heritage of Spain.
Another noteworthy figure was Margarita Jusino, a prominent educator and advocate for women's rights in Puerto Rico, who lived from 1865 to 1942. She played a significant role in establishing educational opportunities for women on the island and was a pioneer in the fight for gender equality.

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

Yes. This page is using the latest surname file currently loaded on Name Census, which is 2020. The historical section above also keeps any older Census surname entries we have for Jusino (2000, 2010, 2020).
Does the Census include every surname?
No. The Census Bureau only publishes surnames that appeared at least 100 times in a given decennial Census. That means very rare surnames are excluded entirely, and a surname can appear in one Census release but disappear from a later one if it falls below the reporting threshold.
Why don't the ancestry percentages always add up to exactly 100%?
There are two main reasons: rounding and suppression. The Census Bureau rounds published values, and it may suppress very small cells to protect privacy. For 2020, the Bureau also published raw group counts rather than direct percentages, so Name Census converts those counts back into shares for comparability across census years.
