Meaning and background
The story behind Casado
Casado is a Spanish and Portuguese surname with a historical household-status explanation. The Dictionary of American Family Names derives it from vocabulary describing a married man or head of a household, and connects that vocabulary with casar and casa. This is a documented surname formation. When Casado is chosen for a dog as a family tribute, that historical explanation should not be treated as a description of the animal.
- Origin
- Spanish and Portuguese status surname from casado, historically describing a married man or household head. Source
