ArchivesRe: Family names in Spanish
in reply to a message by Mark
Normally in Spanish the mother's paternal surname follows the father's, but the father's name is the main one used.
Juan Rodriguez Gonzalez will be called Señor Rodriguez, not Señor Gonzalez. If he marries Maria Camarena Orellana, their children will be Jorge Rodriguez Camarena and Mercedes Rodriguez Camarena.
