Hello, I'm researching my grandmother's (maternal) line in the mid 1700s in SLP,and I just came across a clue of an additional name: Sacramento. It is listed on a child's wedding record as Maria Prudencia Gertrudis del Sacramento Rangel. Del is not capitalized, Does this mean Sacramento is part of the surname, or an additional first name? It is the only record I found so far (after years) with that additional name listed.
Thank you,
Cynthia Jimenez

Spanish Surname with del vs. Del
In the case of this ancestor, “Sacramento” is part of her given name, “Maria Prudencia del Sacramento,” which is likely a name of one of the manifestations of the Virgin. So, the “d” in “del” is not capitalized. Her surname is “Rangel.”
Saludos,
