Spanish naming traditions are used not only in spain, but also in the many spanish-speaking regions of latin america. most people have one or two given names, followed by two surnames. the first surname (considered the primary surname) is inherited from the father's paternal surname, the second is inherited from the mother's paternal surname. women usually keep their names when they marry.
for example, if josé lópez garcía marries maría reyes cruz, both will keep their surnames unchanged. if they have a child named tomás, his full name will be tomás lópez reyes. sometimes the two surnames are separated by the word y meaning "and."
some spanish given names are taken from the names of saints. there are also many names which honor the virgin mary, such as dolores, rosario, mercedes, pilar, and luz.
based on the text, how can some hispanics use religion in the use of names?
