Buenrostro

Buenrostro is a Spanish-language surname and, less commonly, a geographic name in Spanish-speaking regions. The name is generally considered to be toponymic or descriptive, formed from the elements bueno meaning "good" and rostro meaning "face" or "countenance." The exact origin is uncertain, but such compound surnames often originated as nicknames or identifiers tied to a place, a person’s appearance, or family lineage. Over the centuries, Buenrostro spread from Spain to the Americas and became established among populations of Spanish descent in many countries.

Today, Buenrostro is most commonly found in Mexico, with smaller communities of bearers in the United States and elsewhere in Latin America. It is one of several Spanish surnames that reflect the tradition of combining positive adjectives with facial or personal attributes. As a surname, Buenrostro may appear in various professional fields and civic life within Spanish-speaking communities.
