Díaz is a common Spanish surname with multiple meanings. First found in Castile, where the name originated in the Visigoths period, the name accounts for about 0.17 % of the Spanish population, ranking as the 14th-most frequently found surname in both 1999 and 2004〔(Mateos & Tucker 2008, OcioTotal 1999)〕 compared to the most popular Spanish surname of those years. ==Variants and related names== There is minor evidence that Díez may be equivalent to Díaz, in the form of Spanish language listing of most frequent surnames in 1999 Spain (OcioTotal 1999). However, a 2008 in-press academic manuscript about Spanish naming in 2004 suggests otherwise, listing statistics for "Díaz" and "Díez" separately (Mateos & Tucker 2008). In relation to descent from the Biblical names James and Jacob, it has been surmised that ''Díaz'' is a derivation of Diego from Iago (Smith 1986), ''Sant Iagus''. A second source suggests ''Díaz'' as being derived from a Gothic form of the paternal genitive of Dia, as in "Dia's child", or Diag, Diago or Diego (Dixon 1857). Dias translates into Son of Jacob The surname is cognate with the Portuguese language surname ''Dias''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Diaz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
