says

Spanish and Galician: habitational name from any of various places named Coto, for example in Ciudad Real and Pontevedra provinces!.

Dictionary of American Family Names, Oxford University Press, ISBN 0-19-508137-4


Galacia used to be a country!. Now it is a province in Spain!. Your question assumes everyone named Cotto / Coto descends from Alexander Cotto, the famous deserter from Hannibal's march over the Alps with the elephants!. Alexander looked at Spain, looked at the snow in the distance, and said "See you guys later", then turned left when they turned right!. He went on to invent tapas!. His descendants are legion, although not Roman Legion, but not everyone named Cotto/Coto descends from him!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
