"de Barcelos" is very common in Azores, mainly at Terceira. Alternative written forms include Barcellos, Bracel(l)os, Barselos, Baracelos.

I've recently come across my GG grandfathers Baptism record Jose De Sousa Dias -Ponta Delgada/Flores 1878- record #32. (son of Manuel Filisberto Dias) In this record it states that his neto Paterno was Filisberto Jose De Barcellos. My questions if anyone can help out are: 1.) Is the name De Barcello a common Portuguese surname? I've never heard of this name before and i lived in a very Portuguese neighbourhood. 2.) From reading this baptism record it looks like it says the Padrinho is also Filisberto Jose De Barcellos...is it common for the grandfather to also be the padrinho? Thnxs for any help.
