http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/f...
has 288 entries, from the Philippines, Mexico, USA, Albania, USSR, . . .

http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.c...
has 274 entries.

So, either your 12th great grandfather, the first to take the Lazo surname, was a heck of a sailor with a woman in every port, or there are multiple origins for the surname.

This is what www.ancestry.com has to say about the name,
Lazo
Galician: habitational name from Lazo in A Coru?a province.
Spanish: nickname from Spanish lazo ‘hair ribbon’, ‘shoe lace’.
hope this helps.
