Rojas surname meaning

Rojas is a Spanish surname built from rojo, “red,” and is generally understood as a nickname for someone with red hair, a ruddy complexion, or another association with the color. The plural form can reflect Spanish adjective agreement or an inherited family spelling rather than several people in one household. Rojas families developed in different Iberian and American settings, so the surname does not prove one original ancestor. Rojas and related forms such as Roxo may meet through regional language history without being interchangeable in every record. Nickname is the high-confidence catalog type.
