Help[Opinions] Re: Magnolia Corvina Betancourt Jordan: seeking feedback on this name.
in reply to a message by Manipura
No, surnames containing "court" don't necessarily evoke nobility. And according to the baby names website, Betancourt was one of the surnames that spread from the Canary Islands (a territory of Spain) throughout some Latin American countries. Actually, it's another spelling of Bettincourt, named for a French city, which then spread to Portugal, then the Canary Islands, then Latin America.
