The performance of Spanish surnames as an identifier of the Hispanic population has proven to be only adequate in the southwestern United States and considerably worse in the rest of the country. Nevertheless, the concept of Spanish surname still finds widespread usage as a proxy for Hispanic affiliation in areas such as vital statistics (from some States), census data, school administration statistics, and affirmative action programs. Recent work at the Census Bureau, which led to the research reported in this paper, indicates that the less than adequate overall performance should probably not be attributed to the concept of Spanish surname as an identifier but rather to the presence of specific names on the existing list of Spanish surnames. Although the correlation between the Spanish surname and Spanish origin identifiers can never attain unity, a substantial improvement in the relationship (from about 80 percent agreement in the Southwest and 50 percent elsewhere) can be expected with an improved list of spanish surnames.

The Spanish language is the second most used language in the world. With 329 million native speakers, Spanish ranks as the world's No. 2 language in terms of how many people speak it as their first language, it is slightly ahead of English. Spanish names and surnames are used not only in Spain, but also in the many Spanish-speaking regions of Latin America. The Spanish language became the official language in Spain due to efforts by King Alfonso in the 13th century to standardize the Spanish language for official use. By the time Columbus came to the Western Hemisphere in 1492, Spanish had reached the point where the language as spoken and written would be easily understandable today.Today in most Spanish speaking countries Last names come from both the mother and the father. This book contains a list of over 1000 Masculine Spanish First Names, and over 7900 Spanish Surnames. This book may help persons doing research or wanting to use old Spanish names with correct spellings and accent marks. Includes bibliographical references
