Interesting fact that may surprise you (part 7)

Spanish surnames.

The Spaniards have two-part surnames. The first refers to father's surname and the second one, broadcast after the mother. Married women don't take their surnames after their husbands. The surnames are often repeated and you can meet a person with the surname Rodriguez Rodriguez. Names, as you can see are not seperated by dashes, but we can find hyphens like "y" (and) or "de" (from). What is more, it is also common to find more parts of surname, which is related to the fact that they carry noble titles.

Cheers ! ;)
