| '''CASTRO'''

Spanish and Portuguese toponymic surname derived from *castro*, meaning “fort” or “castle,” from the Latin *castrum*, referring to ancient fortified settlements common in the Iberian Peninsula.

The name appears in Iberian records prior to the colonial period and spread widely to the Americas through Spanish and Portuguese 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.
