 Spain
The distinguished Spanish surname Hernadez is a proud sign of a rich and ancient heritage. The earliest forms of hereditary surnames in Spain were the patronymic surnames, which are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the mother's given name. Spanish patronymic names emerged as early as the mid-9th century; the most common patronymic suffix being "ez." The Hernadez name is derived from the Spanish elements "faro," meaning "journey" and "nano, " meaning "brave."
