I live in Catalonia, but there are here common ancient names of castilian origin. All this names end with a “z”, like Perez, Lopez, Martinez....The statistics confirm that these names art he most usual, also in Catalonia.
There are a lot of names in my country that refer to jobs or trades, like Fuster, Sabater,Carnicer,Ferrer...
There are also names that refer to places or countries from where people came in the past, like Alemany , Castellà, Anglès...in my own family there are some of these names...
In my country, when we meet a person for the first time, we use his/her family name with the title, or his/her surname, depending on the age of the person or the situation.or place we meet in.
