meaning "nephew".
Usage note: In Portuguese names, Filho, if it appears, is usually a
generational suffix
meaning "Junior", and is not a family name, so it should be placed in the optional |suffix=
parameter. Rarely, Filho is the family name; in this case, it would be in the |first=
or |second=
parameter, and the |suffix=
parameter should be omitted. The same applies to Neto or Sobrinho which can be either a suffix (usually) or a family name (rarely). If you are not sure if something is a generational suffix or not, do not use the |suffix=
parameter.
