Why do Spanish speaking countries all use the same names? Are there any unique surnames to any of the countries or is everyone a Gonzalez/Hernandez/Garcia?
Why do Spanish speaking countries all use the same names...
>USA not green
get with the times Miguel, where's the updated map?
matate
Italian surnames are very common in Argentina and Uruguay.
Sure, but these are the most common names in Argentina. They read like the list of people caught in an ICE raid in the USA
Considering they are all Spanish, why should they? I can't tell an American from an Australian name
My last name is Portuguese so this doesn't apply to me.
My surname is italian. Most people I know have italian, spaniar, east european, (Kaminsky, that kind of surname), french and german surnames.
There's a Gonzalez/Hernandez/Garcia in every classroom and office, it's mandatory.
Let me guess: Dos Santos or Santos
kys
10% of the population of portugal and brazil has Silva or Da Silva as last name, an aditional 7% has either Santos or Dos Santos
you guys have it even worse than us
Dominican Republic is different like Welinton "El campeón" Quiw
Gozalez and Hernandez are of Visigoth origin from Europe.
We also have Rodrigues here
newser.com
6 out of 15 of the most common surnames in the USA are Spic
Garcia: 1.2 million
Rodriguez: 1.1 million
Martinez: 1.1 million
Hernandez: 1 million
Lopez: 874,500
Gonzalez: 841,000
It's don't. There are many different surnames. Some of them are pretty much trademark of certain countries, like the «Brenes» surname in Costa Rica.
Spanish surnames are basically first names with an ending on it
Rodriguez = Rodrigo
Martinez = Martin
Hernandez = Hernan
Gonzalez = Gonzalo
Garcia, Gomez and Lopez I have no clue though
Nope
seething
American surnames are less Anglo influenced than Australian or Canadian ones. I can figure out who the American is
garcia is gaulish
gomez comes from gumesco which is now an extinct name that came from homo which means man, womez would mean (son of the man)
lopez comes from lope which is a name that comes from lupus, which means wolf in latin, it would be (son of the wolf)
Bullshit, most common lastnames in America are Smith, Johnson and Williams, you are impossible to distinguish by name alone from the rest of the anglosphere
That's because Blacks here willingly took Anglo names, but most non-Blacks still have less Anglo names
There's a lot of German and Irish influence (Hoover, Eisenhower, Kennedy, etc.) that the rest of the Anglosphere doesn't have
Blacks are like 12% of the population, if a last name Is amongst the most common Is because it Is prevalent amongst whites too
You're talking with a retard. Stop indulging him
It will be updated when canada is green as well
Gonzalez master race here
because they're the same country

Because they come from Spaniards you dumb burger
aguilar looks like castillian, shouldn't it be aguiar?

>Why do Spanish speaking countries all use the same names?
because spaniards do
>Are there any unique surnames to any of the countries?
native surnames and misspelled foreign last names. prevalence of regular spanish last names varies by country, though

i know two jordis
tres santos?
My Spanish professor from Argentina had the surname Kowalski
Coelho, Ferreira, Oliveira, Cerqueira, Amado, Aguilar/Aguiar and Pacheco are common surnames here.
Boquete literally means blowjob.
probably is a jew
galician and portuguese surnames are pretty much the same.
>Pereira
>Bouzón
>Silva
>Castro
>Novoa
Never seen anyone with a surname like Bouzón (Boução?) or Novoa (Novaes?).
they are more rare i guess
Bouzon was created in the medieval times in galicia
>De origen gallego: Figueroa (< Figueiroa), Juárez (< Xuárez), Mosquera (< Mosqueira), Villarino (< Vilariño), Otero (< Outeiro), Sotelo (< Soutelo), Yáñez (< Eanes).
i also read in some site that "Pereira" was a surname made up by the jews to hide from the christians and that they recognized each other if they had it
Pereira means pear tree. They say people with surnames that mean trees/minerals are Jews but that's BS.
By the way, these were the most common surnames of Jews caught in the Portuguese inquisition:
>Rodrigues (citado 137 vezes), Nunes (120), Henriques (68), Mendes (66), Correia (51), Lopes (51), Costa, (49), Cardoso (48), Silva (47) e Fonseca (33).

>I only know these surnames, why do they only use these?
Cringe. Think before posting. It's like saying "why do Americans only use Smith and Williams as a surname?"
Not all.
There are some surnames that refer to places like Del Castillo, Del Bosque, Arredondo or that refer to professions like Guerrero or Soldado.
No she was catholic
xa sei o que significa pereira caralho lmao
i read in some website a guy asying that it was used by the jews but its probably just a conspiracy theory.
according to some other website, the firsst guy with the name pereira was "Ruy González Pereira" from the galician kingdom
>Rodriguez
son of rodrigo
>Nuñez
son of nuño
>Henriquez
son of Henrique/Enrique
>Lopez
son of Lope
fonseca is pretty common here, i always thought it was a cool last name
Is it Teixeira or something
Theyre all the same country fundamentally
Giraldo
Mejia
Jaramillo
Londoño
Restrepo
Those are surnames that scream Colombian to me from a mile. It' rare to find other Latinos with those surnames
Gonzalez is my 2nd last name
My surname is a very common portuguese form of a spanish surname (Moraes instead of Morales)
I wish I had a cool family name
Probably that is the most idiot question that I never see.
Why all Muslim are "Mohammed"? Why all Americans are "Johnson's".
Hello there Mr. Ferreira.
Your surname is Silva!
Poor people surname
Zuluaga
Uribe
Aristizabal
Sanabria
Arias
Those are also Colombian af
I once met an argie whose last name was dos santos
El monstruo...
I had just said my surname is Moraes you retard
It's a poor people surname either way
Uribe and Arias are pretty common here too
Those are patronimic surnames and usually end with -ez, and aren't the only kind in existence. There's also geographical/toponimic:
>Robles (oaks or oak forest)
>Morales (blackberry trees/forest)
>Torres (towers)
>Del Río (from the river)
Occupational:
>Herrero (blacksmith)
>Barbero (barber)
>Alcalde (mayor)
And descriptive:
>Gallardo (brave)
>Bravo (brave/courageous)
>Delgado (thin)
wut, those are just spanish, arias is pretty common in Galicia and the other ones are basque and sanabria is a place
Could be worse, you could be Silva or Pereira.
Still could be of jewish heritage, some jews in latinamerica ended up converting either for marrying catholics or by convenience but keepin the name , i know a guy last named Levy, he Is a regular catholic but has some jewish ancestors
Nope
Close, but no
Vieira
Shut your mouth, Moraes is a traditional white rich name.
Moraes here...
t. Fernando Gomez
here in mexico there is a lot of people surnamed "flayed" (Desollado) or "beheaded"(Degoyado)
At least yours is foreign, m8.
Pereira
>Why do former Spanish colonies use Spanish surnames?
That's how retared you sound.
>Are there any unique surnames to any of the countries
Yes.
>is everyone a Gonzalez/Hernandez/Garcia?
No.
It's Degollado, like the Independence hero. And it's not a common surname.
namelets need not apply
Silva Quiroz Amador here
Yeah
>tfw was born in a garcia family
How do you deal with that? I have no identity
That's a really unfortunate coincidence
our jews are still jews. she could be just a pole, we have quite a lot of those here, especially in the northeast
