History:
The surname Cardoso is common in India, especially among Goan Catholics, because of Portuguese influence. When the Portuguese colonized Goa in the 16th century, many locals converted to Christianity and adopted Portuguese surnames as part of this conversion. This surname, which means "thorny" or "full of thistles" in Portuguese, was one of the names they adopted. So, the spread of this surname in India is directly related to religious conversions (sometimes voluntary, sometimes forced) and the adoption of Portuguese cultural practices during the Portuguese colonial era in Goa. Instead of large migrations, the establishment of this surname came from imposing a new cultural identity in a specific area.
