Origin of the last name:

There are two known possible origins to the Prado surname.

The first one indicates the origin of the last name comes from Spain when the son of a noblewoman took the last name after the prado, Spanish word for field, where he was born.

The last name is also said[by whom?] to have an Italian origin, more specifically from the Island of Sicily, where records have been found that indicate the presence of a noble family in the 16th century by the last name Prado. Prado comes from a variation of prato (Italian word for field).
