A Bit Better Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 From my great great (maybe another great) Grandfather... Double barrelled surname. Second part was his slave name in England, first part was the Muslim name he took on when he was freed and returned to Ghana. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumblebee Posted April 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 bring up some portuguese sh*t and i'll tell youHowever, nowadays in Spain and in many Spanish-speaking countries (former Spanish colonies, e.g. Philippines, Mexico, Guatemala, Colombia, Peru, Chile, Venezuela)most people have two family names, although in some situations only the first is used. The first family name is the paternal one, inherited from the father's paternal family name. The second family name is the maternal one, inherited from the mother's paternal family name. (As an example, Mexican boxer Marco Antonio Barrera's full name is Marco Antonio Barrera Tapia, though Barrera is the only one used in general conversation.)Thats Spanish.You wanted Portuguese...I thought Portugal was a Spanish-speaking country... partly .Which is why...They speak portuguese gtfoi KNOW they speak PORTUAGUESEHence the name PORTUGAL.EAZYand yes we all know Portugal is not Spain.I'm not as stupid as one thinks.
