Notes About Our List
The U.S. census of 2010 included a question that asked if the person was “Spanish / Hispanic/ Latino”.
This means that our list is based on the self-declaration of heritage. Our cutoff of 60% is to be more sure that the last names were typically Hispanic.

Hispanic Last Names Beginning With E
Let’s start with the surnames from Echavarria to Elvira.
The first five surnames in this list are clearly spelling variants of each other. If we combined them, their ranking in the U.S. census would be much higher.
As it stands, Elizondo is the most common name in this section. There is a town of the same name in Navarre in Spain.
But the word also derives from the phrase “near a church”. So, it could be held by families residing beside a religious building.
