Hernán Cortés' full name was Hernán Cortés de Monroy y Pizarro Altamirano. His middle name, "Cortés," is often used as a surname, but it is part of his full name rather than a traditional middle name. Cortés is best known for leading the expedition that resulted in the fall of the Aztec Empire in the early 16th century.
