<p>Spanish-speaking people will commonly have two family names. For example, <b class="highlight">María José Carreño Quiñones</b> (José being a part of her given name) may be the daughter of Antonio Carreño Rodríguez and María Quiñones Marqués.</p>
<p>You could refer to her as Señorita Carreño, but not Señorita Quiñones. However, more recently there is also a preference to move away from titles that indicate the married status of women (especially when they are not so indicated for men), so 'Señorita' may be replaced with 'Señora' or 'Doña'.</p>

<p>Brazilians have similar customs, and may even have three or four family names, drawing on the names of other ancestors, such as <b class="highlight">José Eduardo Santos Tavares Melo Silva</b>.</p>
<p>Typically, two Spanish family names would have the order paternal+maternal, whereas Portuguese names in Brazil would be maternal+paternal. However, this order may change.</p>
<p>Furthermore, some names add short words, such as de or e between family names, such as Carreño de Quiñones, or Tavares e Silva.</p>
