Does anybody know much about Spanish, Traditional Malay, Hispanized Chinese, Chinese lastname meanings that are common or even yours?

My surname is Torres. A typical Spanish surname. Any Torres in the house?

Gosh, it's soo common. It means "turris" in Latin-a person who lived in or near a tower.

yeah that's right. tore, even in filipino means tower. i think they're named after scouts.

any valeras? valera means warrior i think.

Hey flipcom, the poem you posted in Friendsters bulletin board is cool Did you make it?

no. that's eheads/eraserheads' "Minsan". it's just cuz i was listening to my old cd's. hehe.

I know that Vasquez, I think came from Basque/Euskara (aboriginal/ethinic minority of northern spain). And deGuerra, came from soldiers. (Guerra=war)

I want to know what's up with the -co on most hispanized Chinese last names.

Co is probably a chinese family name.. just like in the case of Cojuanco. (Co Juan Co). lol theory though..

There probably isn't one, but does anyone know the origin of the surname Villar?

How about France... hahaha!!!

I see... kaya pala parang familiar


My surname is associated with SM mall... Siy-M__________

Hmmm, Villar that sounds like a Mexican surname,... I mean Spanish surname. 2

As for France I don't think that's Spanish, Malay or Chinese. Maybe it's French. 2
