Equatoguinean surnames reflect the country’s complex colonial and ethnic history. Common Spanish-origin names include García, Rodríguez, and González. More uniquely Equatoguinean are names from the Fang ethnic group, such as Nguema, Obiang, or Mongomo. The surname Bubi, while not a last name itself, is often incorporated into surnames of people from the Bubi ethnic group. Unusual names include Bokesa and Evuna. Some surnames like Riveiro or Dougan reflect the influence of Portuguese and British colonialism respectively.
