In Spanish naming tradition, the primer apellido is the father's surname and the segundo apellido is the mother's (see tinyurl.com/gkvefon). So it looks like Peña is the primer apellido and C. is an abbreviation of the segundo apellido.
Thank you. What about the initial "J." before Eduardo?
I'd say it's another given name like Juan or José.
