Portuguese clans

[Bashkir]

Hi!

I am interested in the history of some of the Portuguese clan

Velho, Soto, Ferdinandesh, Major, Aveiro


Who can help, where to find information and history about them?

I searched across the internet, and I could not find any information about the clans.

I hope that someone else, or maybe myself will be able to assist you further.

Thank you, Coolboygcp.

Do you mean Portuguese Celtic clans / tribes or family names?

You can start with Portuguese names on WIKI, if that's what you are looking for.

Hi,
I don't know if you can call it "clans"...

Velho: it means "old"...never seen it as a surname...
Soto: it should be "Souto"; it means "Chestnut woods"; it is more a toponym (check wikipedia Souto); not so common, but there are some people with this name as "Souto Moura".
Fernandes: son of Fernando.
Major: military rank; ...never seen it as a surname...
Aveiro: city/district south of Porto; it is the surname of Cristiano Ronaldo.
