apellido

surname
🏷️ Latin appellare, to call: your apellido is what you're called, an appellation
Spanish took apellidar, to call by name, from Latin appellare. English got appeal and appellation from the same root. Tie apellido to appellation: both mean the name you go by, and in Spanish it's specifically the family name.
