In some cultures, a surname, family name, or last name is the portion of one's personal name that indicates their family, tribe or community.
Pinto is a Spanish, Jewish (Sephardic), Portuguese, and Italian surname. Historically, it has been common among political elite in Spanish and Portuguese speaking countries, as numerous Presidents, Prime Ministers, and Heads of State have shared the surname. The surname Pinto is largely found in Spain, Portugal, Brazil, Italy, Angola, Goa and numerous South American nations. Pinto is also a high-frequency surname in Israel, Luxembourg, and East Timor. In many languages, Pinto means "colorful" or "painted" as it derives from the late Latin pinctus and classical Latin pictus, and in some cases, at least from the same word in the sense "lively or restless person". It is linguistically related to the name of Columbus' ship La Pinta, meaning "The Painted One", "The Look", or "The Spotted One". Also related, though greatly diverging in meaning, is the unit of measurement "pint", which comes from the Old French word pinte and perhaps ultimately from Vulgar Latin pincta meaning "painted", for marks painted on the side of a container to show capacity.
Silva is a surname in Portuguese-speaking countries, such as Portugal and Brazil. It is derived from the Latin word silva, meaning 'forest' or 'woodland'. It is the family name of the House of Silva.
Spanish naming customs are historical traditions that are practised in Spain for naming children. According to these customs, a person's name consists of a given name followed by two surnames. Historically, the first surname was the father's first surname, and the second the mother's first surname. In recent years, the order of the surnames in a family is decided when registering the first child, but the traditional order is still usually chosen. Often, the practice is to use one given name and the first surname most of the time ; the complete name is typically reserved for legal, formal, and documentary matters. Both surnames are sometimes systematically used when the first surname is very common to get a more customized name. In these cases, it is even common to use only the second surname, as in "Lorca", "Picasso" or "Zapatero". This does not affect alphabetization: "Lorca", the Spanish poet, must be alphabetized in an index under "García Lorca", not "Lorca" or "García".
