Surnames
Targueral has very few laws governing given names. This freedom has given rise to a wide variety of names and naming trends. Cultural diversity in Targueral caused by the mass immigration after the independence from Castellán has led to great variations in names and naming traditions and names have been used to express creativity, personality, cultural identity, origins and values.
Currently in Targueral, people bear a given name and two surnames.
The two surnames refer to each of the parental families. A person's first surname is the mother's first surname, while their second surname is the father's first surname (as opposed to Castellán ). For example, if a man named Eduardo Reginez Rubio marries a woman named María Lerabarihan Nouhei and they have a child named José, there are several legal options, but their child would most usually be known as José Lerabarihan Reginez.
