See, [[Spain | See, [[Spain Naming Customs#Surnames Historical Development|'''Surnames Historical Development in Spain Naming Customs'''.]] In Spain, the name system was well established by the 1100s, and the naming customs of Spain became the basis for other Spanish-speaking countries. The historical development of these practices, described in this article, all took place in Spain before they began colonizing Chile. Hereditary surnames were well-established when Spaniards brought them to Chile. | ||

===Native Indian Surnames | ===Native Indian Surnames=== | ||
Spanish priests would often assign Indian family names as surnames. In Chile, many surnames of Spanish origin were given to the native Indian children when the priests baptized them. Others were simply baptized Juan, José, María, and so on, and later descendants obtained a surname. | Spanish priests would often assign Indian family names as surnames.
