Bolivian last names

In the early days of the country, when it was still a colony of Spain, most people had Spanish last names. But as time went on and the country became more independent, many Bolivians began to adopt indigenous last names.

Today, a majority of Bolivians have both a Spanish last name and an indigenous one. And in some cases, they may even have two indigenous last names. This is because many Bolivians are of mixed ancestry, with both Spanish and indigenous ancestors.

So what are some of the most common Bolivian last names? Garcia and Rodriguez are two of the most common Spanish surnames in Bolivia. But there are also many indigenous surnames that are quite common, such as Condori, Apaza, and Choque.

If you trace back far enough, almost all Bolivian families have both Spanish and indigenous roots. And this is reflected in their last names. So next time you meet someone from Bolivia, don't be surprised if they have a rather unique surname!
