Spanish names are traditionally composed of a given name and two surnames. The first surname is the father’s first surname, and the second surname is the mother’s first surname. This naming convention is known as patronymic/matronymic naming system. The father’s surname is passed down from generation to generation, while the mother’s surname is also passed down but is not used in daily life

Spanish names are often derived from religious figures, saints, and historical figures. Many Spanish names have roots in Latin, Arabic, and Germanic languages. As a result, Spanish names often have multiple meanings and layers of significance
