Origin
Meaning and origin of Salicrup
The surname SALICRUP has its origins in the Catalonia region of northeastern Spain. It is believed to have emerged sometime in the late 15th or early 16th century, possibly derived from the Catalan words "salicru" meaning "willow cross" or "salicorn" meaning "salt marsh plant."
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in a municipal register from the town of Tortosa, Catalonia, dated 1528, which references a certain Jaume Salicrup. This document suggests that the name was already in use by that time among the local population.
In the 17th century, records indicate that members of the Salicrup family had established themselves in the neighboring region of Valencia. A baptismal record from the parish church of Alicante, dated 1671, mentions the birth of Margarida Salicrup, daughter of Antoni Salicrup and Maria Salcedo.
As the centuries passed, the Salicrup name spread to other parts of Spain and, eventually, to the Americas. One notable bearer of the name was Francesc Salicrup (1786-1862), a Catalan merchant and philanthropist who made significant contributions to the city of Barcelona.
In the 19th century, the name found its way to Cuba, where a prominent figure, José María Salicrup y Puig (1825-1893), was born in Havana. He went on to become a respected lawyer and politician, serving as a deputy in the Spanish Cortes.
Another illustrious individual with the Salicrup surname was Enrique Salicrup y Puig (1858-1932), a Cuban-born painter and academic who studied in Paris and later became a professor at the San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts in Havana.
While the name Salicrup is not among the most common surnames globally, it has left its mark in various parts of the world, particularly in Spain, Cuba, and other Spanish-speaking regions, reflecting the diverse history and migrations of those who bore this distinctive name.

The bar chart below shows how Salicrup bearers described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. 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 Salicrup surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
