| My first surname highest incidence is in Porto, Lisboa, Aveiro and Braga. Likely a surname with its origins in the north. My second surname highest incidence is in Lisboa, Setúbal, Porto and Castelo Branco. I think it is a surname originally from Castelo Branco but Lisboa, Setúbal and Porto happen to have higher incidences because many families migrated from Castelo Branco to those cities in the 70's and 80's (my family included). My third and last surname highest incidence is in Lisboa, followed by Castelo Branco and Santarém. This one I am pretty sure that is originally from Sertã and neighbouring regions because every stranger I have ever encountered during my life with this surname happened to have relatives from there.

It was ranked #4. Must be pretty common then. Is it a surname that exists in Spain too? | |

It's ranked at #238 in Spain. Compared to my father's surname, which is found all over Spain, most common in Andalucia at 20k, and ranked #2. lol | |

|  My first surname is common in coastal districts between Douro and Tagus rivers, its highest incidence by absolute values is in Lisbon, followed by Aveiro, but its frequency is a lot higher in Guarda.  My second and last surname highest incidence is in Lisbon, followed by Setúbal. Many relatives migrated from Alentejo (Beja) to those cities. However surname's frequency is higher in Castelo Branco. | |
