Trevino surname meaning

Trevino is the common U.S. spelling of Spanish Treviño, a habitational surname from places named Treviño in the provinces of Burgos and Cantabria. The original ñ may disappear in English-language records without changing the underlying place-name history. Treviño, Trevino, and related spellings should still be checked against the document’s language and locality rather than merged automatically. The surname identifies geographic origin, but it does not establish that all Treviño families came from one settlement. Place is the secure catalog type, with high confidence in the Spanish habitational explanation.
