Probably the name is older as Arab and Jewish names are part of the classical world.

Just checked on those names, Lencastre seems to go back to Alencastre from Madeira, and from there to Britain.
José Wallenstein has German and Azorean ancestors.
Breyner is another odd name that several actors share. And some of them are not even related to each other. Matilde Breyner for instance is related to old noble families from Mafra and the Azores. Nicolau Breyner is related to another noble family.

The same thing happened here with the Catalan TV, a public and obsolete behemoth with 3000 employees.

When they started, back in 1983 they had to look for Catalan newscasters in little redneckish towns in the mountain. People that had 20 Catalan last names and not excessively dialectical forms and no influence whatsoever of evil Spanish, no Spanish inlaws....if Catalans, ethnic, are 20 percent here....those people are les than one percent. They look like your typical Catalan mountain redneck which is at odds with most of the people living in Catalonia. Nobility..yes, many members of the nobility that had name and no money. Quite pedantic people. Catalan nobility tends to be Catalan/Spanish, but nobility in Andalusia has English influence, in Castile...Flemish, Valonian, remnants of the empire.

This is the typical Catalan redneck chased in the mountain in some chicken scoop broadcasting weather and hired as newscaster, not that he's very different to Catalans, just more nerdish, a-holes, rural, altar-boyish. There are more extreme examples.

Sometimes I wonder how many neo nazies are on this forum.
I agree, and I had mentioned it. The population replacement is at the continental level. However some people on here seem to ignore it or are driven by questionable motivations when they post pictures of black people.

No, it's only the white countries that are becoming "one big mix". Middle East is Arab, Africa is black, China is Chinese, India is Indian etc. I was just in Frankfurt recently. What a mess. The population seems mostly Turkish/Arab/Asian... barely any Germans. Sad.

In a way I guess it's true. Sometimes I don't see many Germans when I'm in Berlin. I see mostly Turkish people but I don't have a problem with them. Sometimes I feel alittle hurt though when i see African women using german men for money. I know a few people who were screwed over. Now that doesn't mean all African women are like that but I feel bad to see german men get used. They don't deserve that kind of treatment.

The legend goes the location was named after a Mourisca one of the Knight Templars fell in love with during the Reconquista. Fatima has been the name of the parish for centuries and Fatima is also a common woman's name in Portugal.
