Talk:Portillo (surname)

Latest comment: 10 years ago by 84.124.65.6

Can someone please clarify etymology claiming "portillo" as deriving from "puerto"? In current Spanish usage, a "portillo" is a small side-door (http://lema.rae.es/drae/?val=portillo), the word "portillo" being a diminutive of "puerta" (=door), not of "puerto" (=port, harbor). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.124.65.6 (talk) 07:26, 29 July 2014 (UTC)Reply
