Umana
A surname found especially in parts of the Spanish-speaking world, likely formed as a regional or family-name variant rather than from a common English occupational meaning.
The #5,415 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 48,046 Americans shares it.
Etymology
Umana is not a standard English-language surname and does not have a single widely agreed derivation. In many cases it is treated as a surname of southern European shape, possibly connected to a place name, a family nickname, or a regional variant influenced by Spanish or Italian naming patterns. The form also invites comparison with the Spanish and Italian word for “human” or “humane” (from Latin humanus), though that is not certain proof of surname origin.
History
The name is relatively uncommon in the United States and is most likely to be associated with immigrant families from Latin America or southern Europe. Because the surname is rare and not well represented in classic English surname dictionaries, its history is best treated as locally specific rather than universal. In modern records, it appears as a family name rather than a long-established Anglo-English surname.

Fun fact
Its spelling makes it easy to mistake for the English adjective “human,” but as a surname it may have a completely different local history.
