A DAY TO REMEMBER. On Friday, March 17, students from the UF College of Medicine class of 2017 discovered where they will spend the next four years â or more â of their medical careers.
Revealed: Why hispanic surnames dominate most common women's name combinations in America. 1  More than 38,000 Americans have the name James Smith. 2  On a list of the top 13 most popular full names in the U.S., the majority of the last names were Smith. 3  All but one of the most popular female full names have Spanish origins.
In this post, I will attempt to explain the Spanish system of last names to non-Spaniards. There are four basic rules to surname inheritance in Spain: Everyone has two last names. Your first last name is your fatherâs first last name. Your second last name is your motherâs first last name. Women do not change their last names when they get married.
