What is the heritage of my last name? "Poso"?

My father told me he was a Spaniard but, my uncle claims to be European and my brother thinks that we are Italian.

Update:

I have no info to go by. Besides my siblings ALL relatives have died. On the male side we have "Marfan Syndrome" that if not treated can kill before age 40. I do know for a fact that my grandma "Oivia Carvalho" from the state of Mass. was Portugeze. My grandfathers name was Josepha R.Poso but true origin is unknown. My father John R. Poso was born 04/21/1941 and died 12/22/1979. All I remember was him telling me that he was nine years old when his dad died and that his mother remarried and my dad moved out and into his freinds house. Where the confussing part comes in is, the family that raised my

dad were a mexican family whereby I'm

not sure if he learned to speak spanish so fluent was from them or his possible spanish heritage. I don't care what my heritage is, I just want to know where I come from? Besides my mom & dad.

    Well, Spain is in Europe, so where the contradiction...?

    Anyway there are just few Poso in Italy.

    It's still possible you're from Italy, although unlikable.

    I actually work on your family genealogy (I have your grandmother in my tree). . Your father's family is Spanish. Originally, name was Pozo, but sometime early was changed to Poso. One of your cousins was 6'4" but did not suffer Marfans. He was tallest of the cousins I knew.
