Many young people I know have indigenous name: Mayara, Taine, Taina...

Beyoncé's full name is Beyoncé Giselle Knowles-Carter . Her first name is a tribute to mother Tina Knowles' French maiden name Beyincé, pronounced "bay-EN-say." Tina didn't think there were enough men in the Beyincé family to keep the surname going, so she adapted it and made it her daughter's first name.

They are not "low class". You think they are because Portugal was Brazil's colonizer and the main Euro stock in this country. It's obvious that the average Brazilian will have Portuguese names/surnames. If Germany had colonized Brazil instead of Portugal, Hoffmann, Schmidt, etc., would be "low class" surnames.

[Grace O'Malley]

My first name is Anglo, thank you parents!
I like: Lily, Stacy, Heather, Megan, Kylie... and many others!!!!

A lof of these names aren't really of "Anglo" origin but are popular in English speaking countries. Many are of Celtic, Greek, Roman etc. Kylie is actually an Australian Aboriginal name. Heather is actually English but Megan is Celtic, Stacy is a shortened form of Anastasia which is Greek, Jennifer is Welsh. As far as I'm aware Lily is English from Lillian which is a form of Elizabeth. Anyway my point is that a lot of names whilst common in English speaking countries aren't necessarily "Anglo" in origin.

Brandon, Kevin etc are actually Irish names with great history. Kevin - Anglicized form of the Irish name Caoimhín, derived from the older Irish Cóemgein, composed of the Old Irish elements cóem "kind, gentle, handsome" and gein "birth". Saint Caoimhín established a monastery in Glendalough, Ireland in the 6th century and is the patron saint of Dublin. St Kevin of Glendalough.

The given name Brandon as a variant form of the Irish given name Brendan[1] is an Anglicised form of the Old Irish name, Bréanainn, which is in turn derived from the earlier Old Irish Brénainn. The mediaeval Latin form of the name, Brendanus, has influenced its spelling in the modern English and Irish forms. However, the name has no meaning in the Irish language, and was absorbed from the Old Welsh breenhin, meaning Prince or Chieftain. A famous Irish man was St Brendan the Navigator so these names have quite a long history.

[Grace O'Malley]

They aren't from the "English" language. Names like Alfred are from the English language. Britney is actually a form of Brittany the French province Bretagne. It does trace back to Britain as it derives from the Latin name for Britain which was Brittania. Brittany actually means "lesser" or little Britain.

Silva, Santos, Oliveira, Souza e Pereira são os sobrenomes mais comuns de 46,8 milhões de trabalhadores do setor privado, com idade entre 23 a 60 anos, no Brasil.
Juntos, respondem por cerca de 45% dos sobrenomes que constavam, em 2013, na Relação Anual de Informações Sociais (Rais), uma base de dados socioeconômicos do Ministério do Trabalho.
Mas, se comparados aos de outras origens - em especial japonesa e germânica -, as chances de os brasileiros que carregam esses cinco sobrenomes tão comuns ganharem salários menores são grandes.

Uma pessoa com sobrenome de ancestralidade japonesa, por exemplo, recebe, em média, um salário 16,8% maior que um pessoa branca com sobrenome ibérico. Os germânicos, por sua vez, recebem 8% mais que os indivíduos bancos com sobrenomes portugueses e espanhóis.
Se for observada também a raça, verifica-se que pardos, negros e índios, refletindo a já conhecida desigualdade que persiste no país, ganham menos, independente do sobrenome.

Silva, Santos, Oliveira, Souza and Pereira are the most common surnames of 46.8 million workers in the private sector, aged between 23 and 60 years, in Brazil.
Together, they account for about 45% of the surnames that appeared in 2013 in the Annual Social Information Report (Rais), a socioeconomic database of the Ministry of Labor.
But if compared to those of other origins - especially Japanese and German - the chances of Brazilians bearing these five common surnames to earn smaller wages are great.

A person with a surname of Japanese ancestry, for example, receives, on average, a salary 16.8% higher than a white person with an Iberian surname. The Germans, in turn, receive 8% more than individuals banks with Portuguese and Spanish surnames.
If the race is also observed, pardos, blacks and Indigenous, reflecting the already known inequality that persists in the country, earn less, regardless of their surname.

[Brás Garcia de Mascarenhas]

I'm not Portuguese, but I don't think that Anglicized names are that popular in Portugal.

It's not common at all in Portugal unless you do have Brittish or foreign ancestry. Portuguese law is very clear and strictly forbids couples to give non-inherited surnames or even non-Portuguese first names if both parents are Portuguese.

In Brazil it is the opossite, anyone can give any name to their child and that's why Brazil is known worlwide for having the most horrrible and atroucious sounding names like "Washington Silva" or "Chevrolet Da Silva Ford".

Giving non-inherited foreign names is actually a Brazilian trait, mostly among the lower class a.k.a. Favelosos or people with major African ancestry. People with inferiority complexes basically. That's why people like Ogum has a Swedish surname and likes to brag about it, his parents probably thought that it would give him some advantage in life.

Nenhuma surpresa. Brancos de nome ibérico são os mais pobres entre os euro-descendentes no Brasil. Você nunca vai ver suecos com nome sueco ganharem menos que outros euros na Suécia. Assim as coisas seriam no Brasil se os suecos tivessem colonizado o país. Seria um povo orgulhoso de seus nomes coloniais. Mas a História infelizmente não foi tão boa com o Brasil.

[Latinus]

No, you can find low class people with Italian and German surnames. The reason you find more Portuguese surnames among low class people is because the dominant Euro element in Brazil derives from Portugal and most of these people have Portuguese colonial ancestry.

I could say the same about English surnames (which you love by the way). In the US, low class people tend to have English surnames.

By the way, my first name is Igor. It's origin:

Igor (Russian: Игорь, translit. Igor' [ˈiɡərʲ]; Ukrainian: Ігор, translit. Ihor [ˈiɦɔr]; Belarusian: Ігар, translit. Ihar [ˈiɣar]) is a common given Slavic name derived from the Norse name Ingvar, that was brought to ancient Rus' by the Norse Varangians, in the form Ingvar or Yngvar. Igor (son of the Varangian chief Rurik) was left as a child with Rurik's distant relative (supposedly) first Grand Prince of Kiev - Oleg and later, after the death of Oleg replaced him on Kiev's throne.

I don't have Silva in my name, but my grandpa from mom's side had. So what? I don't give a damn about it. I'm white, good looking and that's all that matters.

Better to have Luso surnames and looking like this:

german surnames has biggest salary in brazil

No, you can find low class people with Italian and German surnames. The reason you find more Portuguese surnames among low class people is because the dominant Euro element in Brazil derives from Portugal and most of these people have Portuguese colonial ancestry.

I could say the same about English surnames (which you love by the way). In the US, low class people tend to have English surnames.

isnt about portuguese surnames lol
its about surnames like silva
santos etc
rich iberians here often have surnames like magalhaes
lima etc these "rares" as well bittencourt

No surprise. Germans have a great work ethic. I even wished for my great-grandfather from mom's side to have German ancestry because he was born in Rio Grande do Sul. I was disapointed when my grandma said his full name and were all Luso and one Roman (Italian). I think the Japanese would be higher (regarding their salaries) in that graphic if they were more numerous here.

German-Brazilians also have the higher proportion of women with pink nipples and p....

That is another advantage for them.

Silva is the most common surname in Portugal. The average Portuguese has a better standard of living than the average Brazilian.

Many rich Iberians (including celebrities) also have common Luso surnames.

There are rich Silvas in Brazil. It's because rich people are a minority and Silva is a common surname.

They can't pronounce because it's Germanic, not Latin souding. Anglos would be the opposite.

You are more likely to succeed in Brazil with a foreign name. No wonder a lot of, if not most actors and business people have non-Portuguese names in Brazil. The Portuguese brought their national low self-esteem to Brazil.
