Naming conventions in Spain

Spanish naming law gives most people two surnames.

Two surnames, not one

the father's first surname followed by the mother's first surname, both carried without a hyphen

José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero (Rodríguez: paternal, Zapatero: maternal)

Foundry's multi-part family-name handling keeps both surnames together instead of mistaking the second for a middle name.
