The differing practices can be confusing for someone unfamiliar with Spanish, but the Spanish way of doing things has been around for hundreds of years. Traditionally, if John Smith and Nancy Jones who live in an English-speaking country get married and have a child, the child would end up with a name such as Paul Smith or Barbara Smith. But it's not the same in most areas where Spanish is spoken as the native language. There's a logic to it all, but the confusion comes mostly because the Spanish surname method is different than what you're used to.
Although there are numerous variations of how names are handled, just as there can be in English, the basic rule of Spanish names is fairly simple: In general, a person born into a Spanish-speaking family is given a first name followed by two surnames, the first being the father's family name or, more precisely, the surname he gained from his father followed by the mother's family name or, again more precisely, the surname she gained from her father.
In a sense, then, native Spanish speakers are born with two last names. Sometimes, the two surnames can be separated by y meaning "and" , although this is less common than it used to be.
You may see names that are even longer. Although it isn't done much, at least formally, it is possible also to include grandparents' names in the mix. If the full name is shortened, usually the second surname name is dropped. Things can get a bit complicated for Spanish-speaking people living in places such as the United States, where it is not the norm to use two family names. One choice many make is for all family members to use the father's paternal family name.
Also quite common is to hyphenate the two names, e.
