Cedillo Surname Definition:

"Zendilla" is the letter in old Spanish that indicates the "c" and also means to pronounce with a single sound. "Cedillo" is the masculine form of this word, but I think that this place name has nothing to do with the letter but is a variant of "cedizo" which means to begin to become putrid or corrupt.

Cedillo Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

"Zendilla" is the letter in old Spanish that indicates the "c" and also means to pronounce with a single sound. "Cedillo" is the masculine form of this word, but I think that this place name has nothing to do with the letter but is a variant of "cedizo" which means to begin to become putrid or corrupt. It seems that this place name might be labeled thus because of its lack of means for preserving food.
