The Secrets of Hispanic Surnames
A client asked me to help resolve an issue with a birth certificate in which the parents were Hispanic and the birth certificate misnamed the father’s surname (last name). I realized that I did not know the first thing about Hispanic surnames and why there were sometimes two surnames and sometimes only one. This was clearly the source of the mistake on the birth certificate. The best and easiest to understand answer is found here. I would summarize the information here but I would simply have to repeat the article. It is fairly short and concise and easy to understand. If you ever wondered or just need to brush up on the ins and outs, go see for yourself and be better informed.
