Re: what are the origins of these names?
in reply to a message by melanie
Martínez and Santos are spanish last names. Martínez is a "patronimic" last name, it's composed by the name Martino and the sufix "-ez" and means: son of Martino (just like Fernández means "son of Fernando").
Santos means "saints" and is very common in latin America, specially in Mexico.
