In the first record, the name transliterates as "Chapado" and in the second, as "Xapado". It's the same name. "Ch" and "X" are both used for that sound-- but I don't know if it's a soft "sh" or a harder "ch"--can anyone clarify, please?. I've seen this usage in "Chaves/Xaves" too.
I don't know if "Chapado/Xapado" is an alcunha or an uncommon surname. Perhaps someone else can say.
