I'm seeing a Spanish(?) surname which is Bersoza.

Thanks, however I believe that the Spanish surname is Berzosa. The surname here starts with "B" and end with "zan".

Have you seen the following link?

http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bersezio_%28Croazia%29

"Fino al 1924, quando era sotto sovranità italiana, la località era chiamata Bersez.."

So the surname is some variation of this name Bersez

That seems to be the logical derivation of the surname. You're welcome.
