Hello,

since I started the discussion about Jun meaning Junior I must admit that this was just a guess.
In many countries Jun is a shortcut for Junior.
I did not know that Jun is a Spain family name.
I also did not know that in Spain the people take both the family names of father and mother.
I learned a lot from this threat, thank You all.

Best regards, Helge

Old time fashions over here. You know that a noble can bear fourteen names alltoghether. When i was born ( a Portuguese peasant ), according to the time fashion, i was given my mother's mother and my father's father last names.
You got it ?
