Indios


 

Just Wondering:

is there a list of surnames that were "assigned" to the Indios as they were assimiliated into mainstream Catholicism? I mean I know that some surnames that exist today find their origin in that they were first "assigned" to Indios as they came into the church AND others received common Spanish Surnames. But those that received the common surnames is there any indication as to if all and every name was eligible for an Indio to receive? or were there certain names that Indios would absolutely never receive?

thanks,

joseph
