ArchivesRe: Are these last names Posruguese?...
in reply to a message by Laura
Fortuna is Portuguese and Italian. [denoting a gambler or a lucky person]
Damaso is Spanish and Portuguese. [derived from the personal name Dámaso which itself was derived from the Greek meaning "to tame"].

Like Fortunato, in Italy Fortuna comes from an old latin first name that means "lucky".
Damso exists as well as italian last name, it is very local and rare, namely in Sicily an Southern Italy. It has the same origine as the spanish form.
