I am Writting from the basque country to confirm you that the surname Otaño comes froms Gipuzkoa a province of Basque country (Euskalerria). As far as I know there are two different family branches. One is from Irun/ renteria, this is in the north east of Gipuzkoa province, neraby the French border and the other one is establiched in Bergara in the middle of Gipuzkoa.
I belong to this branch. The oldest reerence I have got from my family is from 1750 where some one with a surname of otaño was worked as a Doctor in Bergara.

The meaning of the surname comes from the basque language.From the word OTA that is a name of a floor that grows in the fields of the BAsque Country.


As Alex Otaño mentioned to you, in the last centuries a lot of people imigrated from the Basque Country to America and some of them participated in the "war of Cuba". As fas as I know someone from my branch family did participated in this tragic event.

There are some Otaños in Venezuela as well.


Best regards fron the Basque Country..

Ola Antonio Carlos,
Recibi tu correo electronico y me alegro mucho saber que hay Otaños en Brasilia, yo estoy tratando de reunir datos sobre el apellido Otaño y mis ancestros. LLevo en esta busqueda hace un tiempo y espero llegar unos cuantos siglos hacia atras en la historia. Y quien sabe si en esa busqueda hay un punto comun entre ustedes y nosotros. Yo se que los Otaños son todos muy unidos. Son muy honestos y tienen los valores familares muy arraigados. Somos muy alegres e inteligentes. Se que el apellido Otaño viene de la region Vasca de Guipuzcoa en España y que muchos de ellos emigraron a Sur America, Brazil y Cuba. Yo naci en Estados Unidospero mis padres son Cubanos y mi abuelo por parte de padre, de quien me viene el apellido es de la region de Vinales en la provincia occidental de Cuba. Otano es un apellido poco comun por lo que creo es una sola rama y todos somos familia me agrada mucho haber hecho contacto con ustedes en Brasilia. Que Dios les bendiga! Saludos de una pariente lejana. Franci Otaño
