Reveles
A likely Hispanic surname, probably tied to a place name or older regional form rather than a transparent modern Spanish word.
The #7,821 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 72,938 Americans shares it.
Etymology
Reveles is most likely a Spanish surname formed from a place name or a local family name that became hereditary. In Spanish, surnames of this type often arose from someone being identified by their village, estate, or region of origin. The exact historical root of Re-veles is not certain from general evidence alone, so its literal meaning is unclear.
History
The surname is found in Hispanic communities and is especially likely to have spread through Spain and later the Americas. As with many Spanish surnames, it may reflect medieval or early modern naming from a locality that no longer has a widely recognized form. Modern bearers are often concentrated in the United States and Latin America.

Fun fact
Because the name is uncommon and not clearly transparent in modern Spanish, its exact origin can be harder to trace than many everyday occupational surnames.
