    Spanish

    Spanish surnames follow a double-surname system: a person carries the father's first surname and the mother's first surname (García López). The -ez ending means "son of": Fernández, González, Rodríguez, Martínez. Other names come from places (Navarro, Serrano), occupations (Herrero, Molina) and traits (Delgado, Rubio, Moreno).

    Give a Spanish or Latin American character two surnames and use only the first in casual reference. Rare names like Ibarra or Quintanilla feel Basque or northern; names ending in -ez are the most common by far.
