Thank you for listening to the podcast and subscribing... I really appreciate it.
What if my last name is Pendejo?
Ay yawa...

🤣🤣🤣
Oof
😂😂
I am proud of my Spanish heritage
Me too.
I’m conflicted about mine, because of colonization and such, I’m Mexican , most of my European ancestry is Iberian , including Spain.
U a moor....not spanish...
@@FabiolaMacabredon’t beat yourself up we are dispersed from this in blood so much so that the very few in numbers who paid people to do horrible things is so far removed from who you are now and also myself.
I would be a rad neighbor and partner to any locals I personally would find myself next to. That’s what matters today is who we are to each other right now. Oh I do think land owned and taken should be rightly returned and moneys returned and all that, so that part need not be forgotten….
But you and I played no role in that horror. Horror done so by mercenaries of the time and not the actual Spanish or celts or Iberians or any of the Euska world.
Iberian is Assyrian linguistically going backwards through time. There’s so much more to be proud of being apart of the many whose hands built this f’n place than to live lives ashamed of what the greedy few did behind the peoples backs.
I’ve traced my friends “Macias” surname back to the Roman Macer gens. That’s a big gens.
They may have been the “tan” Scots that Robert the Bruce comes from and what later was called “Cherokee” and a couple other “ch” tribe names on the Dawes roles.
I look at it like this. Mama bear is both good and bad depending on what side of the coin is trying to do what with her babies.
Right?!
Like we done some dirt to people and we done some magic for this world too.
All of us have fallen short of genetic perfection just some of us still dont know it quite yet.
I live in a honky backwood rural town with 3 restaurants and 1 is Mexican. I only eat at the Mexican one. Even though I know only 7 total, Mexicans are my people.
I love them. Scared as hell of pissing any off and would cherish the familia of them to my dying kick.
My brother looks identical to the current king of Spain, if either of us was the “Spanish” colonizers you would see the coolest honkees ever trying to coexist and build on each others dreams. Trust me it wasn’t us kinda Spanish that did those things there’s no way.
I could see one of nastier relatives hiring out such work but they themselves face to face could not hurt a fly. It was money paid to literal pirates and merchant privateers by noblemen (oligarchs) that did the hellish crap. The word noble in feudal term;
Is that they have “no bill” to the emperor or the boss.
People think it means moral or wholesome person but it doesn’t it means the opposite if you are the recipient of the payback service rendered to the emperor or boss by someone that owed money or debt of service.
I ain’t trying to tell on the game cuz probably still operates like this in ways but just I wanted to uplift you cuz you seemed down about being brown I’m over here in white world going “kid Brown is Best” trust me kid no one’s golden age lasts forever, it wouldn’t be fair it that was the case. It may seem like the Mexicans get a bad deal today but tomorrow that golden age could pop again and the tables turn.
Then Mexico comes up on top and gets a golden age. It’s a circle and it comes around and that means you or your kin are going to be able to shape the world in your direction and the direction of your hearts soon. I think reeeal soon the way white world so confused over the stupidest stuff. Anyway you come from hero’s of old and coming again. Maybe you are that hero. How could we know?
I bet for a period of time, the first waves of Iberians were just in love with Nahuatl and local tribes.
I would have been.
Same as now.
@@FabiolaMacabreExactly
The custom is to put the Fathers surname first, and the mother second. It only became legal (to everyone) to put the mother surname first a couple of decades ago. At least in Spain. So if anyone is searching keep that in mind. Fernando Gonzalez Puente and Maria Garcia Dominguez have a son called Pedro Gonzalez Garcia.
Keep mind that in Portugal they do use Mothers surname first, Fathers second, if you have ancestors in the iberian peninsula we are not that far from eachother.
In other Spanish speaking countries,like those where Anglo-Saxon surname custom have being imposed or adopted they might be variations on this norm, including having just one surname but never change it (not even after marriage) or women adding a third "surname" after marriage with the formula "de" + husband first surname. (If your ancestors are from way back enough you might find this formula used even in Spain, even though it is rare and more of a "formality" than a legal thing)
Thank you.
Most still put the paternal first followed by the maternal. If a couple chooses to put the maternal first, ALL children born to that couple must have their last names in the same order. That only took place a few years ago. I am from Spain, my paternal is first, and my maternal is second. Thank you for also clarifying this. This video is incorrect. Many countries such as Portugal, Brazil, and the Philippians are the reverse of Spain with maternal first and paternal last. There are very few countries that do it that way, most that use a double last name follow the traditional way it was done in Spain
Spanish Surname start with the father Surname not the Mother.
That’s exactly what I was going to say. That’s completely wrong. …
We have the same surname: Guzman. Its not so common though and apparently its German or has German origins.
Apart from Martin / Martinez, French and Francophone people also have the equivalent to the last name "Sanchez", though it is rendered "Sanche".
My mom’s paternal lineage (my grandfather’s side) is Gutierrez and Madrigal and her maternal lineage (my grandmothers’ side) is Maya and Peralta.
Tienes Apellidos de Origen Español.
@@Merry19ss y no ves q se llama olivia 😅😅😅
Hey my paternal great grandfather was a madrigal it was his mother’s maiden last name.. so he was a Barragan Madrigal.. I’m a Barragan Solis.. I know Solis is Spanish but have no idea where Barragan comes from
@@EriBarryour both surnames are from Spain. Barragán is basque I think. And Solís is asturian. The north of Spain which is very green and beautiful. Also madrigal is from Avila and surroundings of Madrid.
@@angyliv8040 I was able to trace my family tree.. at least the Barragan line back to Liege, Belgium! I found a book in the area my family’s from in Mexico where they interviewed men in the area, in it i found my 4x great grandfather mentioned. It was only a few sentences about each man.. but under his name it said that he originated from Flanders and that he had come to Mexico because of the growing conflict in his country.. I was able to then search records in Belgium where I found him and his parents.. good thing I have some knowledge of French so I was able to ready marriage certificates. It’s all really exciting 😂
My grandma from my mom's side was De Acuna while in Spain. But when they came to Ellis island my Great x3 or 4 grandfather changed it to just Acuna.
Sanchez means blessed yes but Sancho was the name of the Kings of Navarra Sancho I-IV which became the Kingdom of Leon, Castile, Aragon, Portugal which is Modern España today and is related to El Rey de España
Sancho el que tiene tu mama y cuernos tu papa😂😂😂😂😂😊😇
That’s makes a lot of sense. I’m Filipino and generally among the Filipinos of Spanish decent, we use our mother’s maiden name as our middle name and dads of course as our last, but that makes sense.
We are Ophirians 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 shalawan (Shalom)
Of course, a Spanish surname doesn't always connote Spanish ancestry. It is simply proof that at one point, an ancestor, native or not, used the surname. In fact, Filipinos had no surnames until the mid-19th century when the Spanish Governor General required our ancestors to adopt a surname from his catalogue of surnames. In countries like Jamaica or the Bahamas, people have English surnames though that doesn't connote Englsh or British ancestry. Same is true for many black Americans.
The best proof of ancestry is records - census, birth certificates, baptismal certificates and so on.
Filipinos got their names assigned not by blood 🩸. Very different
see the dna tests that filipinos put on youtube and u wont find one that came back with spanish genes.
For me is Alvarez is Son of Alvaró and Almodovar it means Fortified square and is also the name of a River in Cádiz, Spain
Do you think you are related to the Muslims of Spain?
You mixed the surname order up: The child's first surname is the father's first surname; the child's second surname is the mother's first surname.
My Uribe family was in fact traced all the way back to Spain 🇪🇸 my grandpas great grandfather is Don Blas Maria Uribe from Loredo Tx ❤️ We also have Perez and Maldonado on my grandpas mother’s side ☺️ I have been currently collecting photos and things for my genealogy records for my sons! This is such an awesome video thank you! So fascinating!
Mendoza
That's crazy my moms side of the family is all Uribe and my dad's side is De La Garza
@@Ericson-vk6bx That’s my married name ☺️
@@literallygod1229 that’s so cool, maybe we are related! ☺️
@@MamaByNature yeah my great great grandfather is originally from Spain but moved to Texas and then California
It would be more useful to talk about the form of the two last names in spanish registers. It is quite common to have both last names (father first, mother second). When a woman gets married, she can keep both last names, or she can use the married last name: she keeps the fathers last name and changes the mother's last name for the married name, separate with the particle "de". So: María Fernández Pérez gets married with Tomás López, and can use her name as "María Fernández de López".
That is not legal though. Some people might use it that way but only in informal situations. On paper, on you id card, passport, social number, bank account, etc... You have the surnames you are born with, forevermore.
@@mielyresina That's not true. I know a lot of people that change their name for the married name on the id card. It is less common nowadays, but it is still possible.
@@constanza1648 I aswered twice already but it is not showing. Here is another atemt.
Perhaps we are not both talking about Spain?
Surnames are tight to filiation in Spain, and therefore they have to to with who your parents or what your bloodline is.
I am not goint to put any link sice maybe that's why youtube is not leting me post, but you can actually go to the Spanish govermet website or to the Spanish register and find information about it.
Marriage is not a valid reason to change your surname.
If you want to change your surnames you have to choose one from your parental line and one from you maternal line. And prove you have the right to them.
You can also invert your surnames order but just once in a lifetime.
Also changing the spelling or slighly the word if they had a bad meaning or something like that.
(look for "cambio de apellidos España")
In fact, if you marry abroad but don't change you nationality you keep your surnames here. So for cross countries paperwork you need to ask for a cetificate where both your surnames and your husband's appeared.
(Search for "certificado de diversidad de apellidos")
@@mielyresina Hace mucho que no vivo en España y no sabía de las normas allí. Igual considerar "España" como paradigma de todo país hispanohablante, es una exageración. En Perú, por ejemplo, sí puedes agregar el apellido de casada a tu DNI. Muchas leyes han ido cambiando con el tiempo y precisamente la de los apellidos es una de ellas: en la actualidad en Perú tienes los dos apellidos de tus padres y puedes agregar el de casada. Pero se mantiene la designación antigua (apellido del padre + apellido de casada) en los casos antiguos, porque anteriormente se usaba así. Si buscas en la documentación antigua para hacer un árbol genealógico, a veces es difícil encontrar el apellido de la madre porque toda la documentación está registrada con apellido de casada.
@@constanza1648 No considero a España como paradigma de ningún país hispano hablante, pero ya que hablabas del registro español ("Spanish registers") pensé que te referías a este país en particular, de ahí mi explicación.
“De” usually means origin from the place the person came from. Although it’s rare in today’s generation because it was widely used during the discovery of the Americas.
The fact that people think , “de” means of a person is simply a misconception that has generated over time. Most Spanish last names have a specific origin or place. There are some that mean a certain characteristic of the person. For example, Basque surenames. My mothers surname is Nungaray, Nun- Basque for Nun, Garay- Basque for Giant. My mothers father was 7 ft tall and the same were his fathers before him.
Sandoval on my fathers side derives from Latin sannoval meaning newly cleared land. The place in Spain where it originated is actually called Sandoval de la reina.Therefore if my name had “de” in front, it would mean I am from Sandoval.
In the Netherlands and other countries around the world they use the same thing.
For example, Kees van der westen.
I'm a De La Garza.
My ancestor was Del Aga Rza to King of Spain.
Is this correct?
Any info on my name?
De can mean (of)...or (from)..an example would be my last name de la Cruz...translation (of the cross) or from...so de la reina mean of or from the queen...no??
I'm D'souza does that mean I'm from Souza? I'm from India 💀
@@crisdl2509 look it up...I did a quick search ur name is Portuguese....there was some Portuguese in India...
That is very interesting!
My family name Espinoza descended from a lineage of donkey spankers that needed to coax animals into mating by hitting them with thorny vines and thus Espinoza came into being.
Nice to see the first comment is an Espinoza. I am a Espinosa as well. My family got mixed up with Espinosa and Espinoza lol
😂😂
I have russian ancestry, my grandfather is russian and my dad is russian, but my grandmother is cuban and I was born in cuba. I have 2 last names, larramendi balmori
Wow
Larramendi is a basque name (Basque country, país Vasco, Euskal Herria)
Balmori is from Asturias. Larramendi is basque. Both from Spain.
I’m an Otero-Castillo and Espinosa-Chavez. I’m from New Mexico USA.

I'm Mendivil and Valencia they are both from a Linaje from Spain.

My mid name is Justino and I too finding more about this.
Does anyone know the meaning or origin of Andalon?
So what is my name if my real dad is Sancho but only my mama knows this?
Elias is my last name, but it's not my maiden name, and I don't have Spanish ancestry. My ancestry is mostly North Western European. I have extensive family tree records. My ancestors in the 1700's did have their mother's maiden surname included with their fathers.
Velasquez here, barely know much about my last name , I do know my great great grandparents from my father side were Spanish immigrants.
So one of your ancestors made candles or in Spanish velas and their son was known as Velasquez.
What is the meaning of "Guinto"? ( Gin-to)
Capetillo( gma moms side)
Rosales (gpa moms side)
Arista (gma dads side)

Oh yeah...my family name is( de la Cruz)...and my mother's side are Rosales/ juregui...lookin up first names are interesting also
My two names are Pedraza, and De Jesus. Would you please tell me where these names are and where they came from?
If most families use the same last name how the hell do you trace genealogy successfully through documents alone? How do you know that the Rodriguez you’re looking at is the same blood line? And none of this really explains why they all choose or keep the same ten names-
Yeah...I always said that lookin up your ancestry or lineage is only for prestigious famillys...rich...famous ect...but either way is good to know and honor ur ancestors/ heritage
@@Dajjalist33 Spain and Mexico are special cases though. I know thousands of families abandoned their surnames for more “famous” ones.
Mine is Ado, but my Grandpa change a long time ago (not really) now my Last name is Ber Ado. And my mom's last name is Noromor. Idk whats the meaning of that...
That would make sense because I amSpanish and last names in my family are Álvarez, Pacheco and Pimentel.
What is a 'popular surname' rather than a common surname?
We are Filipinos and we have Spanish surnames just like Latin Americans.
My ex is Filipino, and the same with him, a Spanish surname.
My mom is Eurasian Malaysian and her last name is Perez.
Mine too
Probably from Philipines (your mom ancestor) Pérez son of Pere/Pedro (Peter)
You probably have Polynesian Filipino ancestors but they do not have any Spanish blood since once they colonized them they had to have surnames to differentiate and have a random identity
most cant find the records at least in cuba as records werent kept well unless it was the kept by the family. but with my grandmas maiden surname bartolemeu and gradfather via mothers Mora. and well my fathers last name Izquierdo.

Some of my Dad Fred White's family members died in the Holocaust. My Dad, Fred White was born on April 23, 1917, and he was in the NAVY during World War 2. There are exhibits at some of the museums for documents that are kept on file for family members of people who died in the Holocaust. There is also a genealogy research library at some of the Jewish centers.
My Dad, Fred White's gravesite is located at Beth David Cemetery in Elmont, New York in Long Island.
The EZ added to the name also suggests Sephardic Jewish origin
Not it not is a latin form!!! The jewish when convert need to adopt spanish Christian surnames, stop to say lies
A last name ending in ez suggests Visigoth ancestry. They conquered Spain after the Romans and were then taken over by the moors.
@@luisaymerich9675 The -ez part of a calque borrowing from the visigoths. There is a lot of Spanish last names that are derived from gothic but doesn’t indicate visigothic ancestry, the Spanish kingdoms used these naming conventions as a way to reconnect with the lost visigothic aristocracy as they saw them as their portents.
I have a Spanish surname because Spain colonize the phillipines because my middle is rivera
Hi! Rivera din middle name ko :)
It's funny we have Spanish names while I have a Chinese looking features laging napagkakamalan may Ari ng hardware o restaurant ahahaha
And also ya is Spanish descent culture as well.
Avila
Most of us Filipinos do not have any “Spanish blood” as it’s a tiny minority because Spain did not colonize the Philippines in the same way they colonized territory in the Americas. Filipinos having Spanish surnames is a result of a law that passed in 1849 where a Spanish naming system was implemented on the population and given to Filipinos. Many of us Filipinos have Chinese ancestry but not Spanish ancestry.
So Latin American colonies were often "settler" colonies to where spaniards migrated (think USA, Canada, Australia-style colonies, made up mostly of migrants who didn't originate from there) and intermarried with most of the population.
Philippines was an "extractive" colony, there for trade. More like the African colonies or the British in India. Spaniards didn't intermarry and migrate there in large numbers, they traded and opened plantations.
As a general rule, when I'm teaching colonial history, I explain that these are the two main types of colonies to the kids. It's fairly easy to understand and is broadly accurate, though on a micro level it's always more complicated than that
I'm here to see who shares my name.
so ur not gonna talk about ramirez???
Im a ramirez too
Lmao same
Son of Ramiro.
Germanic origin
You're ramiro's kid (ramirez = son of ramiro)
my mother is villacerncio
my father is castellano
what's the meaning of this surnames i have and the origin?
Are you sure about the spelling of your mother's last name? It is so strange for a spanish last name! It could be a misspelling (perhaps a couple of generations back), because it has R and N and C all together and that's not likely regular on spanish spelling. At least, I haven't see that in spanish. "villa" is the spanish word for "town". In spanish is very common the last name "villavicencio" (quite similar at your mother's last name) and there are several places called like that, and several places which name begins with "villa". "Castellano" is an adjective. The meaning is "castilian".
Castellano means something or someone from Castilla. Castilla means- La Tierra de Castillos(the land of castles). There is also where the Spanish(castellano-castilian) language was born. The kingdom of Castilla together with The kingdom of Leon conquer the whole iberian peninsula and spread their language through out the land.
Capetillo. Rosales. (Gma and gpa names on mamas side) Arista. Hernandez. (Gma and gpa on dads side)
@@adriantucker5532
Capetillo seems to mean little head.
Rosales means rose bushes.
Hernandez means son of Hernan or Hernando.
I can't place Arista.

I guess it could come from bautista or baptism.
My last name is Bonilla, but my family is from Honduras
can someone please tell me where ventura comes from
It could cone from venture, something coming to you like good luck. In Spanish the word aventura means adventure. The terms could be related.
In my family tree i found people from Spain that hace the surname Albert por Adam and one that i cannot found It origin taht IS Delhom also french surnames like Niget or Artus
I was confused when I did get my dna results. 7 ethnicities although my family is dutch, at least that's what I thought.
Was curious about the middle east and the Iberian dna!
Did dive into the family tree and found I think, Spanish ancestors. Juan Rodrigo, Pedro Rodrigo, Carmen Alleri.
But most of the times the surname is Rodriguez so I looked it up on Google and it said that in 15 percent of the Rodriguez surname it is Rodrigo.
Because Rodriguez means son of Rodrigo.
This was all 9 generations ago, they mingled with dutch people and the names became eventually Dutch names.
Also lot of French ancestry, Le Rieu, Le Matere, Souret and some I can't recall.
Also found French and Spanish cousins, one hell of a big family hahaha.
Great to find out where your ancestry came from👍
Whats the history of the surname 'villas'
I have a friend with surname
(I need help)
Villas or Villa the translate can be small town, but in medieval Spain also a people from a Villa, was a little bit more "privilege" than people from "normal towns".
in latin it means a country house or maonr

Mines carrillo can anybody tell me what it means and the origin? Also my mothers is orellana can anyone tell me the meaning and origin of hers too?
Carillo is a wagon that is ran by horses. Idk about your moms name.

I had a prof whose last name was Conmigo
anyone know where the last name cerda comes from?
Cerda is the Spanish word for a female pig but I don't think that's where the name comes from.

it is possible your origins are from Sardinia.
Can Espinoza be a first name?
I learned through ancestry I have Spanish ancestry Puerto Rico and Spain. ACOSTA ❤
I think Acosta is Galician surname from galicia. And also have Roman origin.
By chance do you know where is Alduenda last name come from ?
Long time looking for
The origin of this last name!
Most Spanish words that start with "Al" are of Arabic origin as Arabs were in Spain for more than 1000 years. "Al" means "the" in Arabic. Duenda means "elf" in Spanish. There are many descriptive Spanish surnames.
@@traveleverywhere1nothing to do with Arabic or elfs. First or all, if a Spanish word has "ue" diphthong it is more likely to be of pre-Arabic origin. Second, the word "duende" is a recent contraction of "dueño de (la casa)", so it is impossible to have Arabic al- prefix.
My grandfather parent family name PAREDA help me please
Uhmm my surname is reodique is that from spanish?

Check if it's Sephardic.
Yes , I have
What about Alvarado, Quintanilla
I'm very curious about my surname. I found out it is from Palermo, Italy. There are a lot of Ciprianos in italy which makes more sense, while it is also not as common in Toledo, Spain. My family is Mexican, and in Mexico we rarely know about our origins. I do have indigenous blood, Spanish for sure, but my surname just never clicks w my background. Even here in the US I've always been asked about my origins.
We got any Coronado in the the house?
My last name is Ortiz Luis. Does anyone know what it means?and it's origin?
Missy 20
Ortiz means son of Orti, which if you translate it from Basque would mean brave or fortunate when you translate it from the related Latin orgin.
Luis comes from the German name Ludwig and means something like brave or famous warrior.

Fatima Mediano Serroejos
Can anyone give meaning!
Isn’t it the dads first surname then the moms because that’s the case for my family
Yeah it is, that's how it should be for everyone
Yes, this is the traditional way and most common too.
Actually your father's surname comes before your mother's. Example : Julio Rodriguez Mendez
Rodriguez (father's surname) Mendez (mother's surname)
Though it can also be vice versa, though it's more common for the father's surname to come before the mother's. And the mother usually puts her father's surname. So basically your two surnames are basically those of your grandfather's, your dad's father and your mom's father.
It is written as Julio Rodriguez y Mendez. Like my grandmother she wrote her name as Sotera Escalante y Bacotacion
No shit
@@josebulang7981 Isn’t “Y” (and) only used when you get married or so? Idk I thought I read that somewhere.
