About portuguese names
Single surnames are the output here, from soft two-syllable picks like "Vaz" and "Leite" to grander compounds such as "Corte-Real". Many derive from trees, trades, and saints, so they feel rooted in the countryside even on a Lisbon doorplate. Stack two results together for an authentic full name, since Portuguese families usually carry a maternal and a paternal surname.
How portuguese names are built
