- A video all about names in Spanish. We will look at common first names among Spanish speakers. Many Spanish speakers have two last names: one from the mom and one from the dad. We will also look at what happens when people get married and have children.
There is a name that should ready Manuel at 1:22 instead of *Manual
Awesome videos. I use them all the time in both my high school and college classes. Keep up the good work.
@Jamie Paris - Gracias. Que todos tus estudiantes sigan aprendiendo mucho español.
What you say is very outdated. Since the nineteenth century the "y" is not used between the surnames, and from about the same time the woman does not change her surname when marrying, at least in Spain. A common name: Alejandro Pérez García (without "y" between surnames). If Alejandro Pérez García marries Natalia Rodríguez Perezagüa, Natalia will not change her surname, and will remain Natalia Rodríguez Perezagüa. If both have a son in common, this one will be called Julio Pérez Rodriguez, using as first surname his father's firstone, and as second surname his mother's firstone.
I hope you have understood well. A greeting.
This has been my experience in Spain. I have no idea what this video is talking about. I've never seen any of the naming conventions discussed here. Perhaps it is limited to a local culture? Mexico (since he mentions El Zócalo)?
the most common Lastnames in Philippines are:
Reyes
Cruz
Dela Cruz
De Guzman
Dela Pena
Gonzales
Guttierez
Good day MaestroKaplan.
.
I see that you are quite knowledgeable about the Spanish language.
And if you don't mind, can you guide me about my homework? It's about Spanish names on widows.
.
So for example, the name of the widow is Maria Madrid viuda de Ruiz.
Now, I understand that "viuda de" means "widow of", for this example it will mean Maria Madrid "widow of" Ruiz.
.
My question are:
1. Why do the widows have to add a "viuda de" in their names?
2. What is the reason/purpose for adding it into their names?
3. Is there any official law or rule in Spanish Speaking countries about using "viuda de" in naming widows?
4. Are there any books or articles that you could recommend for me regarding these type of naming convention?
.
I would really appreciate any response. Thank you in advance!
Awesome presentation by the way :)
@Geography: Nice catch! It should be Manuel. I added a not in the description alerting people to the wrong letter. Thanks for letting me know.
Bro you cool as f*** man may God continue to bless your path
Gracias Rubén.
I appreciate that you took the time to do your research but the "y connector" and the hyphen are very rarely used if not never used. The only time i-ve heard of the "y" is when people have the same first last name and second last name by coincidence like "gonzález y gonzález"; and the only time people use the hyphen is when by some reason they have one of their last name be compound, that is that they decide to keep their mom's or dad's two last names and their mom's or dad's only firsr last name.
For example:
Father: Vargas Lugo
Mother Rangel Barreda
Son : Vargas-lugo Rangel.
Other than that we never use any of that.
Hi Fernando, I realized that after I posted the video, I did not emphasize the "historic" nature of the concept. That is to say, it is an old tradition that is rarely used. I should have more explicitly said that this doesn't really happen today. I appreciate the post. Hopefully people will see your comment along with a few others from below. Thanks for commenting/watching.
I know of people who have the 'de....' surname, what does that mean? Based on what I've learnt from your video, the wife adopts 'de' in front of the husband's surname, however the child does not. How does that work?
***** The word "de" literally means "of" (or belonging to). There are two common reasons: 1) It can refer to a place of origin...for example in the name Don Quijote de la Mancha, it indicates where someone is from (la Mancha). 2) It can show that a woman is "of" or "belongs to" a man. I put those words in quotes because people do not belong to anyone. It is a vestige of when women were married off as property. Many times today, use "de" is a custom that doesn't have any specific meaning but used as part of tradition. The child does not have it because they take the paternal name of each parent. The best way to figure it out is to ask people you know about why they do it.
4:14 Yay my last name is in there :DDDD
Mention two cultural influences behind many Spanish names
If its any help the reason we Spanish have 2 surnames is due to the Spanish "reconquista" and later expulsion of the Jews.
So it was badly seen to mix with jews and muslims so to prove your 100% Christian you included your mother surname in yours (you become a jew through your mother not your father), that way you try to show your Christion on both sides of the family and this greatly helped the inquisition by knowing who to watch more closely.
Jose BARRO SEOANE Gracias José. Es muy interesante la historia de los nombres.
Is Manual actually a name???
so Maestro , if a woman takes her husband's name it's his & her father in-law's 1st surnames ,
de + husband's 1st surname & then her 1st surname , correct ?? Maria - Louise Torres de +___

Las islas filipinas fueron una posesión/territorio de España hasta 1898. Tiene razón que son comuno en las Filipinas. Gracias por compartir esta información.
