During the massive campaign of baptism after the Conquest, indians were given saint's names and these became the last names of most Nahuas today. "Cruz" or "de la Cruz" is very common in the region (municipality of Chicontepec, Veracruz) where most of my students come from (One of my huichol students es also "Cruz"). Francisco, not common as a last name among Spaniards or Mexican Mestizos, is relatively common among Nahuas. </DIV><DIV><SPAN class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </SPAN>Of the list below, there are two sets of relatives. Sabina and Catalina are sisters. Delfina and Manuel are sister and brother (Manuel's birth certificate, for some reason was registered differently from his sister's). Eliazar's last names are completely different from the rest. And even though he is from Huextetitlan, Orizatlan, Hidalgo, he says that the last names "Cruz" and "de la Cruz" are common in his town.</DIV><DIV>John</DIV><DIV><BR><DIV><DIV>On May 14, 2007, at 9:38 AM, Delia Cosentino wrote:</DIV><BR class="Apple-interchange-newline"><BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: auto; -khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; text-indent: 0px; -apple-text-size-adjust: auto; text-transform: none; orphans: 2; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; "><DIV class="Section1"><P class="MsoNormal"><FONT size="2" color="navy" face="Arial"><SPAN style="font-size: 10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy; color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-size: 13.3333px; "><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 128); font-family: Arial; font-size: 13.3333px; ">I recognize that this is off-topic, BUT can you shed light on the consistency of the last names in this list?
