According to data released by Pew Research, Hispanic births accounted for 25 percent of the total births in the United States in 2018. Traditionally, Hispanic-American babies were often named after saints, while some were given names taken from the Bible. There are also some who were named after telenovela characters. Spanish people have two surnames: one from a mother and one from a father. However, it is the father’s surname that is usually passed on to the child.
