The origin of this name is Spanish or Portuguese. I understand it stands for someone from Morocco. I also have been in France and found that Marroquin stands for leather maker. There are Marroquin's in USA, Colombia (first president), Guatemala, Mexico, Spain and Portugal. These countries are where there are substantial diaspora.

The origin of this last name is Spanish (Basque), almost 10 centuries ago A noble Knight went to Morocco, like an hostage for 5 years to warranty against the war between both kingdoms in that age the Arabic culture was the most and become proud about the things he learned, went he returned the people in their town started to call him " el marroquin" and he changed their last name to that from their original "Salcedo", The origin is a little twon 4 kilometers from the actual Bilbao (Spain).
