How do last names work in Mexico and what is the traditional naming convention followed in the country?

In Mexico, last names typically consist of two parts: the father's last name followed by the mother's last name. This traditional naming convention is known as the "apellido paterno" (paternal surname) followed by the "apellido materno" (maternal surname). For example, if a person's father's last name is Garcia and their mother's last name is Lopez, their full name would be First Name Garcia Lopez.
