Аннотация:In this paper the anthroponymic system in XVIII century in Galicia is analysed. The corpus consists of data from the Catastro del Marqués de Ensenada, a main resource for the population at that time. The medieval system has changed, as the -ez suffix is not patronymic anymore and the surname is becoming hereditary, a second surname begun to appear, and new first names are emerging, all of them from saints of Catholics, as part of the strategy after the Council of Trent. Furthermore, as the Galician language has been removed from the written texts, the Hispanicization of proper names begun, translating the first names and translating or garbling the surnames.
