Carrillo Vad efternamn betyder
Spanish: nickname for a person with some peculiarity of the cheek or jaw Spanish carrillo. The word appears to be a diminutive of carro ‘cart wagon’ and it has been suggested that the reference is to the movements of the jaw in chewing. The surname may also have denoted originally a bold or shameless person; for the semantic development compare Cheek. Italian (Campania): probably from a diminutive of carro (see Carro) unless it derives from the Spanish (see 1 above).
