@@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.

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)

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

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.

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 😂

“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.

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.

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".

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.

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

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".

Cerda is the Spanish word for a female pig but I don't think that's where the name comes from. In Spanish the island of Sardinia is called Cerdeña. it is possible your origins are from Sardinia.

What about Vargas?

We got any Coronado in the the house?

Cool

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

@@racooncity3325 it was illegal for Spanish (white people) to intermix with the Indian's or African people. It was actually a law. But you're right Native Americans do have Asian ancestry.

Rodriguez ❤️

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.

How about Gonzales.
