Sandoval

SANDOVAL Spanish toponymic surname derived from the place name Sandoval in the province of Burgos, Castile. The name likely originates from elements referring to sandy terrain or a valley characterized by sandy soil. It became associated with noble lineages during the medieval period. The surname appears in Iberian records prior to the colonial era and was carried to the Americas during Spanish colonization, where it became established in many regions of New Spain. As with many Iberian surnames, its presence alone does not indicate Jewish ancestry, but individuals bearing the name appear in historical contexts associated with converso and crypto-Jewish communities.
