It is Spanish, meaning "two saints." De Santos would mean "of the saints."
-
Dos Santos means "Of the Saints" in Portuguese

It would originally be a Latin/Spanish/Portuguese name, as others have pointed out but to find out where your ancestors are from, you need to start at yourself and work backwards, documenting each generation until you arrive at an immigrant ancestor. Hopefully, the shipping records will give you a clue to an accurate origin.

My Brother and I are "Santos." We are twins, so in truth, I can be with my brother "Dos Santos" or "Of the Saints" I believed Santos must of been a holy people who lived and spoked by the truth. Why would anyone want to bear it for nothing? Our last names tell us something about who we are, a story, history - His (God's) Story. Now that I read the Word Of God, I really see why our names, first and last names, were given. Our names have power in them. If I loved anyone, they will always be a Santos (Saint)in my book. Bless you all.
