SPANISH LAST NAMES TRIAL
Hear Your Child Speak Spanish! Your Free Trial Class Is Waiting ➡️ If I had the surname Feo myself, I’d look for even more chances to say my name. ¡Buenas tardes, señor Feo!

However, I’d still be happy if he scored since Brazil is one of my favorite fútbol teams. I would have a really hard time as a live narrator if Elano scored and I had to scream ¡GOOOOOOL DE ELANO! at the top of my lungs and not laugh out loud. While Elano is a perfectly normal name for Brazilians, in Spanish it sounds identical to el ano, making reference to someone’s rear end. Hilarious linguistic mishaps occur in South America too! One of the players for the Brazilian fútbol team has the unfortunate last name Elano. Either way, I think it’s safe to assume they have been upstanding citizens for many generations now. Some of our surnames have origins in professions, such as Herrera, which translates to “Blacksmith.” So it begs the question: what profession did the Ladrón family have to earn such a surname? My guess is they were tax collectors. It was revealed that in Spain, there were at least 47 people with the surname Ladrón, which translates to “Thief.” Some years ago, the National Institute of Statistics in Spain released a list of all surnames in the country, and that led to some interesting discoveries.
