In Spain we have 2 last names:

- first last name from last name first of the father.

- second last name from the last name first of the mother.

And with this method we have collisions.

In Portugal the last name come from the mothers.

In Portugal you can have one or more last names, but the very last one will be from the father's side. Unless both parents have the same double-barreled name? Never seen that here.
