Londono
A likely Spanish-language surname associated with the place name London or with an old London-related byname, though its exact lineage is not certain from the available evidence.
The #7,816 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 72,903 Americans shares it.
Etymology
The surname most likely reflects a Hispanicized form connected to London, the English place-name from which surnames like London and Londono can arise. In Spanish-speaking contexts, the ending -o may reflect adaptation or spelling variation rather than a separate root. The available historical excerpt does not provide a full etymology for this exact form, so the origin should be treated as probable rather than certain.
History
The form Londono is found chiefly as a modern surname in Spanish-speaking communities, especially in Latin America, where spelling may vary from London-based or Londono-style forms. It is not well documented in the older English surname dictionaries under this exact spelling, suggesting either later adoption, regional adaptation, or a distinct family line with a similar-looking name.

Fun fact
The tilde in Londoño is often lost in anglicized records, which can make the same family appear under multiple spellings in censuses and immigration documents.
