Jaramillo surname meaning
A Spanish habitational surname from Jaramillo de la Fuente or Jaramillo Quemado in Burgos province.
The short story
Jaramillo is a Spanish habitational surname from either of two places in Burgos province: Jaramillo de la Fuente or Jaramillo Quemado. Families took the locality name as a hereditary surname when they moved away from those settlements. Dictionary sources do not need a separate vocabulary gloss beyond the place-name itself; the surname marks origin in one of those Burgos villages. Related spellings are uncommon compared with many Iberian names, so Jaramillo usually points back to that Castilian habitational source. Place is high confidence for the Burgos localities that DAFN assigns as the explanation.
