This is my Brazilian Portuguese pronunciation. However, my name and both surnames (Ribeiro Lage) originated in Germany, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
My first name, Carla, means "free woman" or "warrior". The first surname (Ribeiro) means "by the river" or "small creak". The second surname (Lage) is the name of several places in Europe, but it also means "position" or "flat rock".
In Brazil, it's common to have at least two surnames – typically one from each parent. For example, ‘Ribeiro’ comes from my mother’s family and ‘Lage’ from my father’s. This naming convention may vary depending on personal, cultural or legal choices.
