Reply to:	Brasilian or Portugues surnames by Agostinho Motta

Not knowing much Spanish or any Portuguese, I would try these guesses:

CAETANO: = Kajetan / Kayetan > from the city of Geata / Caieta

COELO: from Latin "coelum / caelum" (sky / heaven)

COSTINHO: from Greek Costa > Konstantin

MAGALHAES: from Magalit > Margareta

SALAZAR: something with "salt"

VENTURA: something with "wind"
