My mom's maiden name is Zatarain and I've been wondering about the origins for some time now. We come from the ones that remained in mazatlan. so far this is all i know about our name (its not much)...
Origen: Apellido de origen francés. De la region de Lyon, eran una de las familias mas importantes de la nobleza francesa, hasta 1789, durante la revolución ejecutaron a sus miembros principales perdonando la vida a Pierre Zatarain, aceptando que él y sus proximas dinastias servirian al ejercito Frances.
La rama mexicana procede de Francois Zatarain que llego, a el estado de Sinaloa con la guerra de Mexico y Francia. Perdieron la guerra, pero se establecieron en Mexico como comerciantes.

Hope you can translate it. This also confused me btw, b/c from my understanding, or at least what my grandparents have told me, Zatarain is of basque origin. However, I haven't gone much into researching it. Hope this is of some help.

This information that you send to Yoli (Yolanda Campos Zatarain, su mamá es de Cofradía Sinaloa y es Gemela)is veridic. In the county of Mazatlán Sinaloa, Mexico, on the little town called Porras, in the Mountains near to Cofradía, Siqueros on the east and near to Puerta de Canoas in the west, were living french people. Also in the history of Mazatlan you can find memories about the battles againts the French Navy. My father born in Porras, he was Rosendo Zatarain and my mother was Loreto Osuna who born on Puerta de Canos, Osuna is also a french last name.
