The surname AIROSO has several forms as you go back in time in the records.
As usual, the S can be Z in the older records, for example. And then it can have the preposition "de" before it to make it "de Airoso."
Also, it is usual for it to have a feminine form for ladies, "de Airosa."
It is easy to mistake for "da Rosa" if you are not careful.
But it has faded into disuse except for the line in Doze Ribeiras and perhaps neighboring freguesias of Terceira.

There are many Airoso from the Azores on Ancestry. Here is one: Alvaro Machado Airoso, b. 3/12/1897, Dos Riberos, Azores. I think they listed 699 but there are quite a few duplicates and there are a few family trees and some pictures. There are also quite a few on FamilySearch.
