The 100 most common surnames in Catalonia (with figures)
Surviving through generations and time thanks to how they are transmitted from father to son, surnames become, from our birth, one more feature of our identity. An indispensable part of our cover letter to the world. And it is that a surname is much more than the name that accompanies the first name in the identity document.
In fact, the surname is a reflection of our legacy, not only family, but also national. And it is that each country, although there is (luckily) a mixture of cultures and despite the fact that we can always come across some more peculiar than others, it has a series of surnames that, due to their cultural and historical identity, present a high frequency.
Studying this is, in itself, a very interesting activity. But focusing on a region as historic as Catalonia, which, despite being an autonomous community of Spain, has its own roots, is especially enriching. Therefore, in today's article we are going to discover, in the form of a ranking, which are the most frequent Catalan surnames.
