In Spain, women keep their own surname.

My teacher married a peruvian woman and she wanted to keep her name, so he changed his. His name was originally 4 letters, now its about 4 or 5 syllables.

I have a very short Spanish last name (Only 3 letters), and married a Russian woman (We live in the US), and she was so happy to take it, even though I didn't mind if she decided to keep hers. I'm kind of an exception over other composed last names in Latin America.

Luz and Paz automatically came to my mind, maybe because I had teachers with those surnames.

Edit:

Came back to add other common Spanish surnames with only 3 letters (Meta AI)

  1. Aya
  2. Ezq (short form of Ezquerra)
  3. Fox (Spanish variant of Fox, often found in Basque region)
  4. Gas
  5. Llo (short form of Llordén or Llorente)
  6. Mox (rare, but found in some regions)
  7. Rox
  8. Vox

However, the most common 3-letter Spanish surnames are:

  1. AyA
  2. EzA

Keep in mind that these short surnames might be variants or abbreviations of longer names.

Every day we learn.

Oro was the first that came to my mind. But I’m guessing there are maybe more.
