Easy Ten Points! EASY AS PIE!?

Question

Who can tell me the origin of the surname Zorrozua? Whomever can tell me the origin of the surname Zorrozua, gets an easy ten points!

Answer 1

"Zorrozua Coat of Arms" is listed at http://www.irishfamilycoatsofarms.com/li...

   (I would assume it has Irish beginnings??)

www.familysearch.org has listings in England ; Spain (majority of international listings from here) ; Saint Martin (I think that's what "SnMrtn" stands for);   and USA (California ; Idaho ; Kansas; Michigan; Oregon ; & Washington).

www.ellisisland.org shows immigrants with this surname from

Arrieta, Spain;  Chascomus, Argentina;  Rigoitiu, Spain;  and

Busturia, Spain  arriving between 1911 and 1921.

www.behindthename.com said the closest match to Zorrozua was  ZORIC--Serbian, Croatian

Means "son of Zora".  and ZORA is  feminine and means   "dawn" in the south Slavic areas of the Czech Republic, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, & Macedonia.

(Looks like to me that the name is primarily Spanish, and E. European. However, I can't find out what it means for sure.)
