Spanish family names ending in -ez are generally associated with a personal name (what in the present day we call a first name). Probably the ancestors of someone named Lopez needed a family name, and the olds man in the house was Lope. The same thing happened in England with names like Johnson and John.

The last name "Lopez" is of Spanish origin and is derived from the word "lop," meaning "wolf." It is a common surname in Spanish-speaking countries and may have originated as a nickname for someone who displayed wolf-like characteristics, such as fierceness or cunning.
