Hispanic Last Names in the US

I was doing the same thing but only managed 11

I tried that too, but it didn't help much cause I soon realized that the only baseball player I know is Babe Ruth...

LOL! Me too I don't know anything about baseball. I know the most famous ones like Robinson, dimaggio, cobb, Gerig because of the disease and a few others that have done commercials but none with Spanish last names. I came up with 12 off the top of my head from people I knew in my travels.

Names ending in -es are Portuguese, not Hispanic.

I couldn't care less about other countries' goverments opinions. I'm just telling you this fact because many of you don't know it.

No they're not. "Torres, Flores, Reyes, Morales, Ramos"...Those are actual words in Spanish. Maybe you're right for Gonzales, but not the others.

I've heard similar things said about Spanish surnames, i.e., Quiñónes is Puerto Rican, while Quiñónez is Mexican. I'm not so sure it's that cut-and-dried. And Hernán Cortés was certainly Spanish, so I doubt the Spanish/Portuguese distinction works either.

We don't know it because it's not true.

as someone with the last name Valdés, I can assure you that my last name is, in fact, Spanish in origin.

AH, NO. Flores IS Spanish. I'm fluent. SOME shared names exist in the country just as Portuguese shares 85% of its vocabulary with Spanish. Interesting as when I was in the ALgarve there was this contentiousness towards Spaniards. I was seriously wondering if it was a grudge from medieval times or what. One bus driver told me he was speaking in Spanish to me because I had "a colombian accent" I don't my native language i s English and I speaqk Spanish with a Venezuelan accent though a few tiny English inflections remain I am sure since I have not spoken in a few years. The actual answer I got from the driver was that "Spanish people pretend not to understand us when we go there." The reality is Spanish is NOT mutually intelligible with Portuguese from Portugal. We can understand some words but Portuguese people from Portugal have a weird slavic accent. WE can understand Italians much better. I can read Portuguese fluently but I could not understand 65% of what people were saying

I'm sure if I had taken this test 10 years ago when I worked in ER registration I would have got 100% easy.

I know 1-37 by heart I get 100% easily on this quiz

Completely and totally blanked. Tried a bunch of baseball players, but few of them actually worked.

No Fernandez is unbelievable.

I know ,right!

Typing hispanic names of football players in Europe got me quite a few.

That was much harder than I expected it to be.

Same.

me too I only got 12 off the top of my head. None of the Alvarados, Fernandezs or others made the cut.
