Origin
Meaning and origin of Trevizo
The surname Trevizo originates from Spain and can be traced back to the 12th century. It is derived from the Spanish word "trevizo," which means "from Treviso," a city located in the Veneto region of northern Italy. This suggests that the name may have been adopted by individuals who migrated from Treviso to Spain during the medieval period.
One of the earliest recorded references to the surname Trevizo can be found in the Libro de las Behetrias, a 14th-century census document from the reign of King Pedro I of Castile. This manuscript listed individuals and their land holdings, providing valuable insights into the distribution of surnames across different regions of Spain.
In the 15th century, a notable figure named Juan de Trevizo (c. 1420-1498) gained prominence as a renowned architect and sculptor. He is credited with designing several significant architectural works, including the Royal Chapel in the Convent of San Juan de los Reyes in Toledo.
During the 16th century, the Trevizo surname began to spread across the Spanish territories in the Americas. One prominent individual was Diego de Trevizo (c. 1530-1598), a Spanish conquistador who participated in the conquest of Peru and later became a wealthy landowner in the region.
In the 17th century, a notable figure named María de Trevizo (1625-1692) achieved recognition as a skilled painter and portrait artist. Her works were highly sought after by the Spanish nobility and can still be found in several museums and private collections.
Another significant individual bearing the Trevizo surname was Antonio de Trevizo (1680-1745), a military commander who played a crucial role in the Spanish colonization efforts in the Philippines. He served as the Governor-General of the Philippine Islands from 1738 to 1742.
Throughout history, variations of the surname Trevizo have emerged, such as Treviño, Treviso, and Trevizano, reflecting the influence of regional dialects and spelling conventions. Additionally, some place names in Spain, such as Treviño in the Basque Country, are believed to have derived from the same linguistic root as the surname.

The bar chart below shows how Trevizo 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 Trevizo 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 Trevizo (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.
