    But Garcia is the most common surname in Spain.

    I have a Galician surname among my 16 first surnames, maybe is shared with Portugueses: Pombo.
    Garcia is also my 7th last name.

    Many are Spanish in origin, García being Basque and the rest Galician. Probably some Castilian too.

    Yes, one of my names is of Galician origin. The other one is of Latin origin.

    Well, my surname isn't even on top 100. I'm almost sure it's Spanish at all, not Portuguese.

    Interesting! I see many overlap with Spanish surnames, just with 1 change or 2, or vice versa. I have a question, if u see a commonly Spanish surname but insetad if it ends with an "s" instead of a "z" does this automatically make it of Portuguese origin? or could it be a Spanish variation as well?.
