Seiz is listed among the recognised spellings of Seitz. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms. The Census Bureau's 2010 surname file lists Seiz with 295 bearers, at rank 66,931. In Spain, the INE population register lists 84 people with Seiz as their first surname and 84 as their second. Spaniards carry two surnames, one from each parent, which is why Seiz is counted in both positions.
