dc.description.abstractThe goal of this presentation is to demonstrate the etymology of Thais and Spanish surnames. This presentation is about something simple but very important in every culture. Two countries with their own language, culture, values,traditions and history, where everybody carry a surname with a story behind. Working as a Spanish Lecturer I have noticed that some of my Thai students have long surnames and most of Thais surnames have a beautiful meaning. I discovered that 99% of my students know the meaning of their surnames and also I never met two Thai students with the same surname. This presentation focuses in surnames origins and classification: Patronymic surnames, toponimic surnames, gentile surnames, theonimic surnames, surnames related to professions, related to geography and surnames related to animals and plants. Wars and history influenced in both Spanish and Thais surnames. This dissertation analyzes similarities and differences between Thais and Spanish surnames through the history. Due to the colonization Spanish surnames are mixed with Italian, Jewish and Arabic surnames. Besides in Spain four languages are spoken apart of the Spanish and this has a strong influence in the surnames formation. Same in Thailand we found Thai surnames, Chinese surnames and Pali-Sanskrit surnames. Khon Kaen University students, Thai people from Northeast of Thailand, friends and people from South America made possible this presentation through the interviews.
