Easy to mix with look-alikes
The spelling risk for Ulloa is neighbouring look-alikes ("ultra"), not just typos; it is aproper noun pronounced [uˈʝoa]. Frequency #22,536 among 448 “U” headwords. Gloss: "Apellido".
Our generated misspelling index lists 4 likely wrong-spelling variants for Ulloa, with forms such as "luloa", "ullao", and "uloa".

It also participates in 1 confusable-pair relationship, "ultra", a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
