I think it's more than coincidence...according to this website,http://thms.tusd.k12.az.us/links/apellidos.html , Ceniceros is derived from the word "ceniza", meaning "ash", and is an occupational surname used to describe someone who burns wood.Hermanita Melissita ;)

Nice bit of research, Hmna. Mellissita! And the inclusion of English surname equivalents is fascinating (altho I've yet to see a 5'1" dude in tank top and cowboy boots hanging out at the local taqueria with a last name like "Coleman").
