Surname In the English-speaking world, a surname is commonly referred to as a last name because it is usually placed at the end of a person's full name, after any given names. In many parts of Asia, as well as some parts of Europe and Africa, the family name is placed before a person's given name. In most Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries, two surnames are commonly used and in some families that claim a connection to nobility even three are used.
The Pale The word pale derives ultimately from the Latin word
Diego Diego is a Spanish and Italian masculine given name. It derives from a re-analysis of Sant Yago (Saint James the Greater) as San Diego.
