Spanish Surname Generator

Spanish surnames are famous for the patronymic '-ez' ending meaning 'son of': Garcia, Fernandez ('son of Fernando'), Rodriguez ('son of Rodrigo'), Gonzalez. Spaniards traditionally carry two surnames — the father's first, then the mother's — so a generated single name is just one half of a full Spanish name.
