Nota cultural: Los apellidos hispanos
You have probably noticed in previous lessons that the Castillo family is sometimes
called la familia Castillo Saavedra and sometimes just la familia Castillo, In most
Hispanic countries people use two last names (apellidos), ‘The first is the name of
the father, the second that of the mother. Itis correct to call a person by the first of
the two names (the name of one’s father) or by both names. Thus, both Ia familia
Castillo and Ia familia Castillo Saavedra are authentic usages.
Miguel and Jaime, who are the sons of Miguel Ruiz and Blena Ramirez, have
the last names Ruiz Ramirez. Elena’s son, Miguel, is known either as Miguel Ruiz,
or as Miguel Ruiz Ramirez, It would not be correct to call him Miguel Ramirez.
A married woman can add the preposition de before her husband's last name.
So Teresa Suarez could also be called Teresa Suarez de Ruiz. However, in Spain
it is very common for 4 woman to use only her maiden name: Teresa Suarez,
Elena Ramirez, Elena’s full married name is Elena Ramirez de Ruiz
