Salcedo or Salzedo and Saucedo is a Spanish toponymic surname, of a family proceeding from the Kings of León, of which a branch passed to Portugal. It is also used through marriage and female line by the only legitimate branch and representative of the Salazar family. It is also a possible derivative of the common surname Saucedo.
It means "Of or relating to the Willow Tree".
The first people with that name were Spanish settlers who came to America from an area in Spain known as the "Valle de Salcedo" (Salcedo Valley, in the Basque Country)
The Basque version is Saratsu or Sarasua
