To follow up with Shirl's inquiry and the request for a link. We have several instances of Banzeco/Banseco's. This word will often follow our surname Rocha. Many believe it to be an alcuna/nickname. It could also be an obscure occupation.
My friend in Brazil believes it could be a derivative of "banzo" a feeling of nostalgia some took a stretch to suggest that it might be related to : banco/bank , seco/dry We've even had folks asking around on Flores, but no luck so far on a definite answer.
