In reading the films of the Azores, I come across several women who
have as part of their names das Dores or do Carmo.
Are these last names or are they middle names as on records the
females father's

I'm wondering if da Carmo is a religious or secular nameI didn't find
the word in my dictionary?
It is both a religious and geographical name: Carmel. Thus Maria do Carmo is
named for Our Lady
Me too, I have run into a woman whose last name (married) is DoCarmo in New
Jersey.

I have a cousin, Maria do Carmo, which is her middle name. I think I've
seen das Dores as a middle name, too. Others will confirm that one.

think it's a middle name although my gggrandmother didn't use any surname other
than Carmo and my cousin just married a man with the last name of Carmo...

Thanks, Cheri and Nancy. Since I do not see Carmo anywhere else in the
line, I guess it is a middle name that can become a surname. So I will
watch for that. das Dores, that was a new one, but now I have seen it
twice, for unrelated ancestors.
Thank you for your responses. They have set my mind
Charlene: Thanks for your reply. The name is Ernestina Candice deBorba.
The deBorba being the last name. I wasn't aware of the father's last name
not being used. Are these baptismal records? Or birth records?
Thanks,
Palmeda
