A typical Brazilian name is composed of one
or two given names, and two family names.
The first surname is usually the mother's family
surname and the second surname is the
father's family surname.
A married woman may add her husband's
last surname(s) to the end of her own name,
but this is not mandatory. The same may
happen with men, though this is extremely
rare.

The use of first names and nicknames is a Brazilian
tradition that dates back to the country's days as
a colony of Portugal.
using just a first name or a nickname is much
easier for children since most are named using the
Portuguese tradition of using four names.
The tradition has also been embraced by Brazil's
national football team since at least 1914.
These nicknames are also used on the back of
their jerseys, as opposed to the more common use
of a player's surname.
