Up until the 5th century, Spain was part of the Roman Empire. In the 6th century, a group of early Germanic people known as the Visigoths went to war with Rome, eventually conquering Spain and much of the Iberian Peninsula. Due to living under the Visigoth rule for much of the Middle Ages, today some of the most common Spanish last names are influenced by German first names and German name origins. For example, the surname \u0022Valdez\u0022 is derived from the Old German word for bald.\u0026nbsp;Today, many Spanish surnames incorporate multicultural elements. In Hispanic-speaking countries like Argentina and Mexico that use double-barreled last names combine elements of Spanish last names with other cultures such as Italian or French surnames. Similarly, in places like Puerto Rico, many people have surnames of non-Spanish origins. For example, one of the most common Puerto Rican last names, Damiani, comes from Italian and Greek origins.Spanish Naming Customs\u0026nbsp;Like many cultures, last names of Spanish origin are derived from family names (patronymic/matronymic), place names, descriptive names, or names of occupations. Spanish names, however, don\u0027t always follow a linear path. A person, for example, may have two last names, one from their mother and one from their father. A Hispanic or Spanish-speaking person will typically have their mother\u0027s surname first, followed by their father\u0027s surname.\u0026nbsp;Let\u0027s look at an example of a patronymic name. If Diego Lopez Reyes marries María Hernandez Diaz, both will keep their last names. Then if they have a baby boy named Leonardo, his full name will be Leonardo Hernandez Lopez.\u0026nbsp;The use of two surnames was originally introduced in the Middle Ages by Madrid\u0027s Castillian kings. For thousands of years, those with two surnames were only royalty and the upper class. However, this naming practice started to become universally common in the 19th century. \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;Many Spanish surnames indicate familial ties and descendants by ending in the suffixes \u0022-az, -ez, -iz, or -oz.\u0022 Each of these means \u0022son of.\u0022 Therefore someone named Hernando Suarez is the son of Suero.Unique Spanish Names with English Meanings\u0026nbsp;Spanish last names, or surnames, often carry rich historical and cultural significance.\u0026nbsp;Some of the most beautiful Spanish surnames are descriptive names inspired by the names of places, animals, or physical traits.

This name is commonly used in both Portugal and Brazil.Velasco - a name from Basque origins that translates to \u0022raven\u0022 or \u0022little crow.\u0022Most Common Spanish Last Names and Meanings\u0026nbsp;Presently, the most common Spanish surnames are some of the most-used names in the world.

Up until the 5th century, Spain was part of the Roman Empire. In the 6th century, a group of early Germanic people known as the Visigoths went to war with Rome, eventually conquering Spain and much of the Iberian Peninsula. Due to living under the Visigoth rule for much of the Middle Ages, today some of the most common Spanish last names are influenced by German first names and German name origins. For example, the surname "Valdez" is derived from the Old German word for bald. </p> <p>Today, many Spanish surnames incorporate multicultural elements. In Hispanic-speaking countries like Argentina and Mexico that use double-barreled last names combine elements of Spanish last names with other cultures such as Italian or French surnames. Similarly, in places like Puerto Rico, many people have surnames of non-Spanish origins. For example, one of the most common Puerto Rican last names, Damiani, comes from Italian and Greek origins.</p> <h2 class="toc-heading">Spanish Naming Customs </h2> <p>Like many cultures, last names of Spanish origin are derived from <a href="https://www.familyeducation.com/baby-names/surname" rel=" noopener" target="_blank">family names</a> (patronymic/matronymic), place names, descriptive names, or names of occupations. Spanish names, however, don't always follow a linear path. A person, for example, may have two last names, one from their mother and one from their father. A Hispanic or Spanish-speaking person will typically have their mother's surname first, followed by their father's surname. </p> <p>Let's look at an example of a patronymic name. If Diego Lopez Reyes marries María Hernandez Diaz, both will keep their last names. Then if they have a baby boy named Leonardo, his full name will be Leonardo Hernandez Lopez. </p> <p>The use of two surnames was originally introduced in the Middle Ages by Madrid's Castillian kings. For thousands of years, those with two surnames were only royalty and the upper class. However, this naming practice started to become universally common in the 19th century. </p> <p>Many Spanish surnames indicate familial ties and descendants by ending in the suffixes "-az, -ez, -iz, or -oz." Each of these means "son of." Therefore someone named Hernando Suarez is the son of Suero.</p> <h2 class="toc-heading">Unique Spanish Names with English Meanings </h2> <p>Spanish last names, or surnames, often carry rich historical and cultural significance.
