Meaning and background
The story behind Carrasquillo
Carrasquillo has a tree connection in its documented Puerto Rican surname history. The Dictionary of American Family Names calls it a topographic surname from a diminutive of Spanish carrasco, the holm oak. The account describes an association with a landscape feature rather than a person’s temperament. For an owner drawn to woodland names, Carrasquillo offers a specific species connection, with the long spelling preserving its Spanish form.
