Razo is in Origin.

Razo is a surname-turned-given name with Iberian roots. As a toponymic, it points to several places named Razo in Galicia (notably the coastal parish and beach in A Coruña). The underlying Spanish word raso means “level, open, or bare,” so the name conveys “from the open plain” or “dweller of the level ground.” A parallel learned echo comes from medieval Occitan razo, the prose “explanation” that introduced a troubadour poem, ultimately from Latin ratio “reason,” lending the name a refined sense of “reason” or “account.”

Documented as a surname in Spain, Portugal, and later Latin America and the Philippines, Razo has recently been adopted as a concise, modern given name. Related or variant spellings include Raso (Spanish/Italian), Razon or Razón (Spanish/Filipino), and, in literary contexts, razo/razos (Occitan). A crisp nickname is Raz. The name suits families seeking a compact, cross-cultural choice with intellectual overtones.
