My father explained to me as a young man that the ez at the end of Spanish surnames indicated 'son of' As Mac, Mc, Son (Ericson), O (O'Riely), indicate 'son of' in other ethnic groups.
Well for the most part. Chavez refers to key makers, so maybe it means the son of a key maker? Who knows. Some examples of what you said would be Rodriguez= son of Rodrick, Perez= son of pedro, Ramirez= son of Ramiro, Martinez= son of martin, Gutierrez= son of Gutierre.
Maria Beltran Not only that. People WANT to reproduce with us. I was explaining this to some guy named Carlos Sanchez in one of the comments further down.
Carlos Sanchez Quite the opposite. The reason why certain surnames are more common than others is because people have sex, and therefore babies, with people who carry those surnames. In other words, the less common your last name is the less sexually attractive you or your ancestors are/were. It’s common sense, aka science...aka natural selection.
Oh yeah Garcia Baby, yes sir there are quite a lot of us! :) Origins in Spain, however we are all over the world! From my paternal side 'Garcia' & my maternal side 'Jimenez'.
michaelgabrielraphael I came here when I entered Jimenez and Jimenez didn't show. My grandmother on my father's size is a Garcia. My mother is a Jimenez.
Wow our family last names are Garcia, Rodriguez, Martinez, Perez and they all appeared, we are all over the place in Spain, interesting! My husband is Gomez Rodriguez, I'm surprised Gomez wasn't there too. By the way, love the guitar music! Regards everyone!
Mine too (Ramirez)I heard it originated from Asturias and my mom's last name, my second last name (Guzman) I don't know but I've heard its Spanish and German.
My dad's a red head puerto rican/ North of spain is Scottland/Ireland potato famine people went to Puerto Rico??? My great grand father was from Spain but live in Mexico on my mom side -i look middle eastern every bodys mix
My mom's nephew Tom who's a major dick! Has the whole family background on Segura. I think he found it all the way to the 15th century or his wife did more so. But it's there.
Guess my surnames aren't that common (Ramírez) and my mother's surname either (Guzman) Actually I have only heard 5 different people with the last name Guzman that doesn't include my family.
@@sanchez_luciano Don’t forget that Brazil is part of Latin America and its culture, language, and the biggest chunk of of its European bloodline derive from Portugal
My parents are mexican and my last name is Turrubiates, so where does my last name come from, because I already my other last names are spain origin...
Mine is also Ramírez. I heard ours came from the region of Asturias. Idk about my other last name (Guzman) I heard its German too. Idk how that happened but ok
@@noel9339 Hernando had sex with a lot of women at the same time and spread his name to all his children. Thus Hernandez became common because everyone was Hernando's kid.
I HOPE EVERYBODY KNOWS A BIT OF OUR OWN HISTORY.. THESE LAST NAMES WERE NEVER OURS TO BEGIN WITH, SO WE CANT BE PROUD OF HOW MUCH AREA OUR LAST NAME COVERS... THE LAST NAMES WERE GIVEN TO US BY OUR SLAVE MASTERS SO THEY CAN KEEP TRACK OF EVERY FAMILY THRY HAD AS SLAVES!!!
D R Speak for yourself. Not all Hispanics have a predominant non-European admixture. Some of us are well between 70-80% European, and it shows in our phenotype. Our Spanish ancestry is nothing to be ashamed of and neither is our indigenous side. All around the world people have genetic components derived from various racial/ethnic groups. We Hispanics are not the exception.
@@tubeu3463 You got some serious psychological issues going on. Go see a therapist so he or she can help you overcome that victimhood complex. I wish you the best. ¡Saludos!
