Zabalza

ZABALZA Spanish surname of Basque origin, derived from a place name in Navarre based on the Basque word *zabal*, meaning “wide” or “broad,” likely referring to an open plain or expansive area. The name appears in Iberian records prior to the colonial period and spread to the Americas through Spanish migration during the colonial era. As with many Iberian surnames, its presence alone does not indicate Jewish ancestry, but individuals bearing this name appear in historical contexts associated with converso and crypto-Jewish communities.
