"Sobrinho" is a generational suffix meaning "nephew".

Usage note: In Portuguese names, Filho, if it appears, is usually a generational suffix meaning "Junior", and is not a family name, so it should be placed in the optional |suffix= parameter. Rarely, Filho is the family name; in this case, it would be in the |first= or |second= parameter, and the |suffix= parameter should be omitted. The same applies to Neto or Sobrinho which can be either a suffix (usually) or a family name (rarely). If you are not sure if something is a generational suffix or not, do not use the |suffix= parameter.
