Thanks for your response. My wife just told me there is an expression that if someone "é de famílias" it mean they are from a family with prestige. Maybe this is why she has the "Dona" title whereas the mother and both grandmothers do not.
Anyway, the priest did not name her family either inadvertently, or because the family was so well known he didn't think it necessary.
