Yñiguez

Yñiguez is a Spanish surname. It is a patronymic surname, meaning it is derived from a given name. In this case, it comes from the name Íñigo, a Basque name. The suffix "-ez" in Spanish surnames indicates "son of," therefore Yñiguez signifies "son of Íñigo." The surname is relatively uncommon but can be found in Spain and in countries with historical ties to Spain, such as the Philippines and various Latin American nations. Variations in spelling may also exist due to regional dialects and transcription errors.
