Ellis Island passenger lists show 4 passengers from the following places in Spain: Arrieta, Rigoitiu, Busturia and 1 from Chascomus, ArgentineWww@QuestionHome@Com

"Zorrozua Coat of Arms" is listed at http://www!.irishfamilycoatsofarms!.com/li!.!.!.
(I would assume it has Irish beginnings!?!?)

www!.familysearch!.org has listings in England ; Spain (majority of international listings from here) ; Saint Martin (I think that's what "SnMrtn" stands for); and USA (California ; Idaho ; Kansas; Michigan; Oregon ; & Washington)!.

www!.ellisisland!.org shows immigrants with this surname from
Arrieta, Spain; Chascomus, Argentina; Rigoitiu, Spain; and
Busturia, Spain arriving between 1911 and 1921!.

www!.behindthename!.com said the closest match to Zorrozua was ZORIC--Serbian, Croatian
Means "son of Zora"!. and ZORA is feminine and means "dawn" in the south Slavic areas of the Czech Republic, Serbia, Croatia, Bulgaria, & Macedonia!.

(Looks like to me that the name is primarily Spanish, and E!. European!. However, I can't find out what it means for sure!.)
