Analysis:

Spanish names often have three or four paragraphs. The first one or two paragraphs are my name, the last one is my father's surname, and the last one is my mother's surname. Generally, my father's surname is my surname, but a few people use my mother's surname as my surname. For example, Diego Rodriguez DE Silva y Velasquez is translated as "Diego Rodriguez de Silva–Velazquez", where DE is a preposition, Silva is the father's surname, Y is a conjunction, and Velasquez is the mother's surname. Married women often remove the mother's surname and add the husband's surname. Usually, oral address often refers to the father's surname, or the first name plus the father's surname. For example, former Spanish head of state Francisco Franco, whose full name is Francisco Paolino Hermenegildo Teodoro Baamonde. The first four paragraphs are names, the penultimate paragraph is the father's surname, and the last paragraph is the mother's surname. When abbreviating, use the first part of the name plus the father's surname.

Portuguese names are also composed of three or four parts. The first two parts are personal names, then the mother's surname, and finally the father's surname. When abbreviating, one's name is usually combined with one's father's surname. In Spanish and Portuguese, men's names often end with "O" and women's names often end with "A".

Brazil was once a colony of Portugal. It speaks Portuguese and has a similar culture.
