Carrillo Family History

Carrillo Genealogy & Family Tree

Carrillo is a Spanish name from Castile, Spain, from medieval times. It comes from the Spanish word carrillo which means "cheek" and referred to someone bold or shameless--or "cheeky." Alternately, it may refer to someone who owned a cart, someone who had a broken or deformed jaw, or someone who was loyal (such as the two original holders of the name, the Carrillo brothers, who were said to be devoted to each other).

Other spellings include "Carillo," "Cariello," "Carriello," and "Carril." Notable people with the surname include Mexican actress Elpidia Carrillo (Seven Pounds, Predator, Solaris), Mexican composer Julian Carrillo Trujillo, and Mexican nuclear physicist Nabor Carrillo Flores (namesake of the Carrillo lunar crater). The first Carrillo to come to the Americas was Pedro Carrillo de Guzman in Peru in 1534.
