Ortiz De Retez
Ortiz () is a Spanish-language patronymic surname meaning "son of Orti". "Orti" seems to be disputed in meaning, deriving from either Basque, Latin ''fortis'' meaning "brave, strong", or Latin ''fortunius'' meaning "fortunate". Officials of the Spanish Inquisition in Toledo, Spain, wrote in the 1590s that "this surname Ortiz, although they have few ''sanbenitos'', is in this city a very ''converso'' lineage and surname".Linda Martz, ''A Network of Converso Families in Early Modern Toledo: Assimilating a Minority'' (2003), pp. 78-79.

Ortiz published the first manual on ornamentation for bowed string instruments, and a large collection of sacred vocal compositions. Biography Very little is known about Ortiz's life. He is believed to have been born in Toledo and probably died in Rome, where its trail is lost. In 1553 Ortiz was living in the viceroyalty of Naples.
