Trevizo
A Spanish surname most likely tied to a place name, especially from the Trivizo/Treviso area-name tradition.
The #8,736 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 82,244 Americans shares it.
Etymology
Trevizo is most plausibly a Hispanicized or variant form connected with the Italian place name Treviso, a city in Veneto. The place name is generally traced back through Latin forms to an older local name whose exact original meaning is uncertain. As a surname, it would have begun as a locational name for someone from or associated with that place, later carried into Spanish-speaking communities.
History
The surname is found especially in Spanish-speaking populations and in the Americas, where place-based surnames were often preserved or reshaped in spelling. In some families, Trevizo may reflect adaptation of an older Treviso/Trevisi/Trevizo form through migration and local spelling habits. Because the name is relatively uncommon, individual family lines may have more than one origin path.

Fun fact
Treviso is also the name of a well-known city in northeastern Italy, so the surname may ultimately point to an ancestor from that place.
