The pronunciation will give a clue. If the "j" is pronounced like "h", it is probably Spanish. Try a bit of genealogical research, and see if you can dig up an immigration record.

Interesting! :D Well, um, being Hispanic and having mostly Spanish ancestry, I assumed that my last name came from Spain, but I wasn't actually sure, so I actually did some research. My name is of Basque origin (reveals my last name but I'm not too worried): ~The Basque surname Argueta is derived from the word "argueta," which in turn comes from the word "arguitsu," meaning "bright, luminous."~ I didn't know what "Basque" meant, so I did more research on Wikipedia, and here's what I found: ~The Basque Country as a greater region (Basque: Euskal Herria) is a European cultural region in the western Pyrenees that spans the border between France and Spain, on the Atlantic coast. It comprises the Spanish Autonomous Communities of the Basque Country and Navarre, and then the Northern Basque Country in France. Over the centuries, elements from both Spanish and French culture (including the respective languages) have been a major influence in the respective parts of the region's culture.~ So yeah, my last name comes from something about Basque. xD (btw I have my mom's last name--which is also my grandma and my great-grandma's....)

Maybe you are related to Bjork?
Most people with that surname are Hispanic and are from Spain or Mexico. Bojorquez is probably another spelling of the same name.

I don't know what it means, but it sounds a little like "Bonjour" from French. Maybe its a French surname.

Go to a family tree/geneology website. That'll square you away.

It looks Spanish to me. I may not mean anything, try looking around on Google.
