https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hutsuls - Ukrainian/Romanian "highlanders" in the Carpathian mountains. Several hypotheses account for the origin of the Hutsuls. According to Romanian historian Nicolae Iorga, "huțuli" or "huțani" are denationalized Romanians.[8] Other opinions show that Hutsuls descend from the White Croats, a Slavic tribe that inhabited the area from the 4th until the 12th century, or from the Slavic tribe of the Ulichs, who had to leave their previous homes near the Buh river under pressure from the Pechenegs.[9]

15th Cent Spanish

About 10% of men and 19% of women used simple patronymic surnames. The majority of these surnames were formed by taking a man's name, dropping the final 'o' (if there was one), and adding 'ez' to the end. A smaller number were formed by simply using the father's name without modification. These names were originally true patronymics, in which each person would form a new name from his own father's name; by the late 15th century, they had become frozen as surnames inherited from generation to generation. https://www.s-gabriel.org/names/juliana/isabella/surnames.html

16th Century Spanish Names

While the choice of bynames were frequently governed by inheritance, that is, the names were hereditary surnames taken from one or both parents, for simplicity we divide the bynames into three types:

Patronymic: These are names originally derived from the given name of one’s father. For example, if, in the 10th century, Diego’s father was Rodrigo, then Diego would be called Diego Rodriguez, where Rodriguez is the patronymic. The form was the same for women: Diego’s sister Maria could be called Maria Rodriguez. Patronymics were frequently formed by altering the father's name into a patronymic form originally derived from a Latin gentive form. Sometimes, however, patronymics were formed by using the given name unaltered, such as Diego Rodrigo. Approximately 1/3 of the bynames in the Catalog were patronymic in form. In the Catálogo patronymics are not longer literal; for example, one of the entries is for Alonso Sánchez. His father's name (included in the entry) is not Sancho but Diego Sánchez.

Locative: These are names taken from places. In general, locatives come in two forms: names that refer to the name of a place (such as de Figueroa), and names that refer to a type of location, such as del Rio ("of the river”). About half of the bynames used in the 16th century were locatives. Locatives were often used with the preposition de (“of”), although there are examples where the name is used by itself (for example, Alonso León).

Other: The other types of bynames are uncommon enough to be grouped together. These include descriptive nicknames (Calvo, “bald”, el Rojo, “the red”), occupational names (Scribano, “scribe”), and titles (Caballero, “knight"). Spanish names typically came in the following forms:

<given name> de <locative>

Ex.: Juan de Palencia, María de Recalde. Almost half of the names from the Catálogo are of this form.

<given name> <patronymic>

Ex.: Bartolome Gómez, Catalina González, Juan Martín. About a third of the names from the Catálogo were of this form.

<given name> <other>

Ex.: Pelagio Calvo, Francisca la Roja, Isabel Alemán. About 5-10% of the names from the Catálogo were of this form.

<given name> <patronymic> de <locative>

Ex.: Juan Martínez de Palategui, Diego López de Olivares. About 5% of the names from the Catálogo were of this form.

There are other forms of names (such as Hernán Sánchez Alemán), but they each consist of less than 1% of data.
