Mexican Surname Generator
Mexican surnames are mostly Spanish: Hernandez, Garcia and Martinez lead, all patronymic '-ez' names. Alongside them are devotional names (De La Cruz, Reyes) and a smaller stock of Indigenous Nahuatl, Maya and Zapotec surnames (Xochitl, Cuauhtémoc, Tepoztécatl). A full Mexican name carries both parents' surnames.
