the name formosa may be either portuguese or spanish - it is used as a surname in both countries, so it's hard to trace its definite origin. in both languages, "formosa" means beautiful and is usually used when referring to female beauty

well...it sounds to me an Italian surname.
Mind you, I'm Italian and in the end Portugal, Spain, France etc share a common root in language which is latin. So the surname could easily be spanish or portuguese of italian.....
Sorry I'm not of any help...-__-

The surname Formosa is Italian, it exists especially in Southern Italy: CAMPANIA (the region of Naples), CALABRIA and SICILIA.
This surname means "beautiful", "well shaped". Both in Italy and Spain there is also the surname Formoso.
Both surnames exist in USA.
