[Surname] Origin of Surname Sampedro
My mother's family is originally from Spain; My father's is from Portugal. I could not find "Sampdedro" listed in either country. Is it possible that this name is like the surname "Santiago" and also originated from a saint? Please, if you could shed some light, it would be greatly appreciated.
