Spanish or Portuguese?


They say she's part Spanish, but her name sounds very Portuguese. What is the truth? And also, did you notice she is quite tall for a Filipino-Chinese-Spanish woman? 5'8 is an average height for a MALE of that extraction!

Carrere is not a portuguese name. Spanish? I don't know. But is simillar to Carreira (portuguese name). Her real name (Janairo) isn't portuguese as well, but is close to "Janeiro", that means January.

"Janeiro" is a Portuguese name.. maybe she is a Portuguese descendent!!

reply

Janairo is certainly NOT a Spanish name. All surnames ending with "iro" are Portuguese, that's for sure. Spanish names usually end with "es" or "as".
