Spanish Surnames
A few notes on Spanish surnames: The overwhelming rule for Spain has been the use of two surnames (but there are outlier variations that we'll look at). The standard use is that a child receives the fathers first surname in first place, and the mothers first surname in second place, such as mine, example: Eloy Escagedo Gutierrez. But in the United States, where I was born, generally speaking, we only adopt the first, just the paternal surname, as in Eloy Escagedo, omitting the maternal surname. In recent times, Spain now allows for children to be named in the reverse manner, maternal surname first, and paternal surname second, I'm sure that there are some in recent times that have adopted this, but the overwhelming standard is, and has been, Paternal followed by the maternal surname. In th...

Sometimes it doesn't take a lot of digging to decipher the nationality of a last name. Look at the spelling for some clues about the country of origin.
Step 1: Count the letters
Count the letters in the surname. If the name is less than 4 letters, like Wu or Li, it may be of Chinese origin.
Step 2: Look at the ending
Look at the ending. If the name ends in "-icz" or "-ski" the name is most likely Polish.
Tip
If the name is also the name of a city or landmark in a country, like Ashby named after Ashby Castle, then that is probably the country of origin.
Step 3: Look at the beginning

LOPEZ as a surname its meaning and origin
This interesting surname, one of the most popular in the Spanish peninsula and South America, is almost certainly of Roman (Latin) origin. It is derived from the ancient word "lupus," meaning wolf, and the 5th century "lobo." This makes it likely that the name is either a nickname or tribal and was originally a term of endearment. The popularity of this surname is such that it must have been given by many people and is generally associated with a tribe or clan. Certainly early civilized people considered it a great honor to be given such a name. Wolves, especially along with bears, lions, and stags, appear frequently in early surname and heraldic records. In this case, the wolf was highly valued for its cunning and bravery. Early records of this surname in church and civil registers, both ...

A few notes on Spanish surnames: The overwhelming rule for Spain has been the use of two surnames (but there are outlier variations that we'll look at). The standard use is that a child receives the fathers first surname in first place, and the mothers first surname in second place, such as mine, example: Eloy Escagedo Gutierrez. But in the United States, where I was born, generally speaking, we only adopt the first, just the paternal surname, as in Eloy Escagedo, omitting the maternal surname. In recent times, Spain now allows for children to be named in the reverse manner, maternal surname first, and paternal surname second, I'm sure that there are some in recent times that have adopted this, but the overwhelming standard is, and has been, Paternal followed by the maternal surname. In the past, in peninsular Spain, there were other variations of this to also keep in mind. At times we'll run into compound surnames which are curious situations, as an example: Gutierrez de Escagedo; Rodriguez de Escagedo; and Diaz de Escagedo (two surnames as one). Things become interesting with people back then, where they would either keep their compound surname, or drop one to keep the other. As an example: Rodriguez de Escagedo, became Rodriguez, and Gutierrez de Escagedo became Escagedo. So in fact, there are some that carry Rodriguez today, that may be related to those that carry Escagedo today. The reason we use "may be", is because there are other circumstances to keep in mind. As an example: Though the surname Escagedo is rare (around 300 people carry it today), it is a toponymic name, likely acquired from a place or location by more than one family. Escagedo, likely comes from (Escajo), a thorny plant that grows wild across Cantabria. Again, the key idea here is, back in time there could have been more than one family that adopted the surname, though in this case, at the very least, the name appears regional to Cantabria. There are other surname variations too, for places, things, and first names becoming surnames such as: Espejo (mirror), De La Riva (rivers edge or seaside), Rodriguez (son of Rodrigo, and the earlier Visigothic form, son of Hrodric). In some towns in the north, surnames also varied from the standard paternal first, maternal second. In some cases, a child would acquire both of their father's surnames, and none from the mother. Likewise, the opposite would occur, where the child would receive both of the mothers surnames, and none from the father. This was noted in the towns of Toranzo and Carriedo, by Mateo Escagedo Salmon, Chronicler for the Province of Santander (my great-granduncle). There are also other considerations such as spelling, for instance: Escagedo is also written as Escajedo, or Escaxedo. Or Ceballos can also be written as Zeballos. In many cases, these different ways of spelling the same surname, would occur within the same family, and among siblings. And to add another layer of complication, the scribes and notaries that recorded church and civil records, at times would write these surnames differently, and sometimes differently, even among the same family members. At this point it is good to note that sometime around 1500, Cardinal Francisco Jimenez de Cisneros, put into practice the naming convention that became the standard in Spain, Paternal surname first, followed by the maternal. Before this time, many within the same family could have different surnames depending on occupation, gender, and any number of other factors, such as a first born carrying both of his father's surnames, due to inheritance. This new standard with both paternal and maternal surnames being handed down,facilitated the ability to keep track of family lines, and for us today, it helps with our research. All that said, there were still variations that occurred (to a lesser degree)long after the adoption of the paternal/maternal standard we see today, well into the 1800s. What we consider a stable unchanging practice, was actually a process that evolved throughout time. I hope this is useful to someone, and Keeping it in mind when researching our Spanish ancestors.

Sometimes it doesn't take a lot of digging to decipher the nationality of a last name. Look at the spelling for some clues about the country of origin.
Step 1: Count the letters
Count the letters in the surname. If the name is less than 4 letters, like Wu or Li, it may be of Chinese origin.
Step 2: Look at the ending
Look at the ending. If the name ends in "-icz" or "-ski" the name is most likely Polish.
Tip
If the name is also the name of a city or landmark in a country, like Ashby named after Ashby Castle, then that is probably the country of origin.
Step 3: Look at the beginning
Look at the beginning of the name. Most Irish surnames start with "Mc" or "O'" like McCauley and O'Brien.
Step 4: Check for a vowel
Check for a vowel on the end of the name. Most Italian surnames end in a vowel.
Step 5: See if there is a "-berg"
See if there is a "-berg" or "-berger" at the end of the name. These names, like Niederberger, are of German origin. Now get investigating!
Did You Know?
As of the 2000 census, Smith was the most popular surname in America.

This interesting surname, one of the most popular in the Spanish peninsula and South America, is almost certainly of Roman (Latin) origin. It is derived from the ancient word "lupus," meaning wolf, and the 5th century "lobo." This makes it likely that the name is either a nickname or tribal and was originally a term of endearment. The popularity of this surname is such that it must have been given by many people and is generally associated with a tribe or clan. Certainly early civilized people considered it a great honor to be given such a name. Wolves, especially along with bears, lions, and stags, appear frequently in early surname and heraldic records. In this case, the wolf was highly valued for its cunning and bravery. Early records of this surname in church and civil registers, both at home and in the new Americas, include Catalina Lopez, who married Diego de Palacios in Valladolid (see below), and Alonso Juan Lopez, baptized in Asunción, Mexico, on February 8, 1637. Ramirez Lopez is recorded on September 6, 1709 in Santa Catarina, Mexico, and Aquida Josefa Lopez on January 21, 1789 in San Diego, California. Dominicas Lopez married Jane Baker on September 23, 1622 at St. Dunstan's Church in Stepney, London. The first recorded surname of Catalina Lopez was recorded on June 20, 1566 in Santa Maria Magdalena, Valladolid, Spain, during the reign of King Philip XI of Spain, Emperor of Mexico from 1556 to 1598. Surnames became necessary only after the government introduced personal taxation. In England, this was known as a poll tax. Over the centuries, surnames in all countries have continued to "evolve," often creating surprising variants from the original spellings.

Early records of this surname in church and civil registers, both at home and in the new Americas, include Catalina Lopez, who married Diego de Palacios in Valladolid (see below), and Alonso Juan Lopez, baptized in Asunción, Mexico, on February 8, 1637. Ramirez Lopez is recorded on September 6, 1709 in Santa Catarina, Mexico, and Aquida Josefa Lopez on January 21, 1789 in San Diego, California. Dominicas Lopez married Jane Baker on September 23, 1622 at St. Dunstan's Church in Stepney, London. The first recorded surname of Catalina Lopez was recorded on June 20, 1566 in Santa Maria Magdalena, Valladolid, Spain, during the reign of King Philip XI of Spain, Emperor of Mexico from 1556 to 1598. Surnames became necessary only after the government introduced personal taxation. In England, this was known as a poll tax. Over the centuries, surnames in all countries have continued to "evolve," often creating surprising variants from the original spellings.
