Diane, Like Eric Edgar says, it depends.
My ancestor always said her maiden name was Correia. Her sister always said her maiden name was Viola (the family alcunha). You're going to have to document the name and figure out whether to include it in one of the name fields in your program or include it in a note or memo field instead. Don't you just love these answers to Portuguese names?
