Origins
The surname is of toponymic origin, de Guzmán ("of Guzmán"), deriving from the village of Guzmán (es) in the region of Burgos. The earliest individual documented using this surname was Rodrigo Muñoz de Guzmán, who first appears in a document from 1134 and was the founder of the noble family of this name.[1][lower-alpha 1] In modern times[when?] the preposition dropped from the original toponymic form, leaving simply Guzmán.
There has been some suggestion over the course of time, that the name derives from a Gothic male honorific meaning "good man" (gus man, guz man); compare the archaic English honorific "Goodman", and the German honorific "Guttmann", both of which also survived as surnames.[citation needed]
In the Philippines, Canada and America the name usually becomes Guzman, while the Portuguese form of the name is Gusmão.
