Abstract

The system of composition of family names that is used today in Portugal, Brazil and the other Lusophone countries around the world finds its origins in Portugal at the end of the Middle Ages but was deeply altered when the bourgeois culture became hegemonic at the end of the nineteenth century. In this essay, I carry out an analysis of the nature of this onomastic system and of its implications for the constitution of the persons whose lives are so deeply marked by the use of these names.
