Habitational name from Raposa, Portugal.

Ellis Island has it as Croatian, Austrian and Portuguese. It seems to be one of those names that appears in multiple countries and may or may not be related to any one country. The likelihood is that it's based on Latin word for "fox" and isn't necessarily tied to any one location. When Catholicism ran clear through Europe, it was the universal language, regardless of country. Its words have seaped into every European language.
