Nota cultural

In most Spanish-speaking countries, people have two last names (apellidos). Usually, the first is their father’s first last name and the second is the mother’s first last name. For example, José Martín Ojeda and Lucila Gómez Sánchez have a son, Ignacio. Their son’s full name would be Ignacio Martín Gómez.

Spain has passed a law which allows the parents to decide the order.
