Heraldry and the Isla Surname

Official name counts are where our Isla file begins. The 2010 US Census counted 619 people named Isla, ranking it number 36,204 among American surnames. 52% of them identified as Hispanic or Latino. In Spain, the INE population register lists 2,497 people with Isla as their first surname and 2,340 as their second. Spaniards carry two surnames, one from each parent, which is why Isla is counted in both positions. We do not guess at meanings: where the dictionaries are silent on Isla, the family's own records come first.
