Where did the Spanish Hinojosa family come from? What is the Spanish coat of arms/family crest? When did the Hinojosa family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

The noble surname Hinojosa is of Spanish descent, and appears to be of toponymic origin. Toponymic surnames are those names which derive their origin from a particular place-name near which the original bearer lived or held land. In this instance, the surname Hinojosa is derived from the place-name Hinojo. The Spanish word "hinojo"is derived from the Latin "fenuculum" diminutive form of "fenum" meaning "hay."

Spelling variations of this family name include: Hinojos, Hinojosas, Hinojal, Inojar and others.

First found in Teruel, in the region of Aragon. The earliest records of the surname Hinojosa are found in the records of the Spanish Order of Carlos III.
