Soro Family History

Italian (Sardinia): perhaps a habitational name from a place called Soro in Corsica. Alternatively, a variant of Soru, a nickname or a metonymic occupational name from soru ‘whey’.

Basque: topographic name from so(h)ro ‘field meadow’.

West African (mainly Ivory Coast): from the name of the Soro clan of the Senufo people based on an old Senufo word meaning ‘leopard’.

Japanese: written 宗呂 ‘religious sect’ and ‘tube’ or ‘backbone’. A rare name taken from a place in Wakayama prefecture; the characters are probably being used phonetically.
