Uruguayan full names in the two-surname form, such as Guzmán Bentancor Melián, Serrana Camejo Sosa and Wilmar Da Silva Machado, beside the given names and surnames that mark the country, from Washington, Tabaré and Yamandú to Arrascaeta, Píriz and Umpiérrez.

About Uruguayan names

A Uruguayan full name follows the Spanish custom: one or two given names, then two surnames, by tradition the father's first and then the mother's. In Lucía Larrañaga Techera, Larrañaga comes from her father and Techera from her mother, and in daily life she is Lucía Larrañaga.

The surnames tell the country's history. Canary Islanders settled Montevideo in the 1720s and the farmland of Canelones after them, and their names are everywhere: Umpiérrez, Bentancor, Curbelo, Perdomo, Camejo. Basque immigrants of the nineteenth century brought Arrascaeta, Bordaberry, Etcheverry, Olaizola and Aguirregaray, and Italians and Galicians filled Montevideo with names like Sanguinetti, Peluffo, Lodeiro and Regueiro. Along the Brazilian border in Rivera, Artigas and Cerro Largo the forms are Portuguese: Da Silva, Da Rosa, Dos Santos, De Mello. The Waldensian colonies of Colonia add Geymonat, Bertinat and Malan.

Given names are the other marker. Uruguayan parents have long used famous surnames as first names: Washington (often written Wáshington), Wilson, Nelson, Darwin, Milton and Edinson. Tabaré comes from Juan Zorrilla de San Martín's poem of 1888, and Yamandú, Abayubá and Zapicán are the names of sixteenth-century chiefs from the chronicles of the conquest. Anahí, Irupé and Itatí come from Guarani, and Líber, Zelmar, Serrana and Guzmán have a strong Uruguayan ring.

How to choose Uruguayan names

  • Use both surnames on documents and in formal scenes, and only the first in daily life. Nicolás Etchebarne Pereira is Nicolás Etchebarne to his friends.
  • Match the given name to the generation. Olegario, Petrona and Delmira suit the gaucho era, Washington, Nelson, Nibia, Gladys and Shirley suit people born in the middle of the twentieth century, and Thiago, Benjamín, Mía and Zoe suit children today.
  • Match the surname to the place. Portuguese forms such as Da Rosa, De Souza and Fagúndez belong to the northern border, Geymonat and Bertinat to Colonia, Curbelo and Perdomo to Canelones, and the Italian and Galician names to Montevideo.
  • Keep the accents. Yamandú, Tabaré, Zapicán and Abayubá are stressed on the last syllable, and Píriz, Umpiérrez and Fagúndez look wrong without theirs.
  • Search a full name before you publish it. Given names this distinctive are often carried by well-known people, and a pairing can match a public figure by chance.

Frequently asked questions

How do Uruguayan surnames work?

A person usually carries two surnames, by custom the father's first surname followed by the mother's first surname. In Mathías Umpiérrez Curbelo, Umpiérrez comes from his father and Curbelo from his mother. Entries with one surname, such as Benjamín Píriz and Sofía Techera, show the short form people use day to day.

Why are so many Uruguayans called Washington, Wilson or Nelson?

Uruguay has a long custom of giving the surnames of famous foreigners as first names, and Washington, Wilson, Nelson, Darwin, Milton, Franklin and Edinson, a local form of Edison, are all in everyday use. The list sets them beside local surnames, as in Washington Píriz Olaizola, Darwin Silveira Machado and Edinson Texeira Rocha.

Are Tabaré and Yamandú indigenous names?

Tabaré was made popular by Juan Zorrilla de San Martín's poem of 1888, whose hero is the son of a Charrúa chief, and Yamandú, Abayubá and Zapicán are names of chiefs recorded in the sixteenth century. With Guidaí, Anahí, Irupé and Itatí they are the only names of this kind in the list, because they are the ones families really use. The list has no made-up indigenous names.

Are these the names of real people?

No. The full-name entries pair given names and surnames that are in use in Uruguay, the single entries are a given name or a surname alone. A combination can match a living person by chance, so treat every name as an invention.
