In a similar fashion to the use of Mc in Scottish names. They'd often be abbreviated with McD for McDonald. It’s not really similar to McDonald - it’s Dasilva - there is just the one capital letter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-Robbo Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 On 10/07/2019 at 15:17, cidered abroad said: Of course it matters to Jay as his name identifies him. His full name is Jay Rhys Dasilva. Thus JRD would be acceptable. The name Silva is of Portuguese origin with the feminine of the prefix de, which is da. It means "of the" and the name Dasilva is clearly a corruption of da Silva. As only the first letter of the name needs capitalization, the name is written as Dasilva. Thus it is only common courtesy to initialize his name as JRD. Quite correct, CA. Literally "Jay of the Woods". In a Portuguese-speaking country, he would be Jay da Silva. In many British-speaking Caribbean islands Portuguese sounding surnames are quite common. Some are the descendants of Portuguese Jews who fled to Jamaica in the 16th Century, others are descendants of indentured labourers brought to the islands from Madeira and Brazil after slavery was abolished in the British Empire.
