Yes, they are, He can be known as Hernando, Hernan and even Fernando Cortes. Most people today know of him as Hernan Cortes.The spelling of Cortes with a z is wrong, he never spelt Cortes as Cortez during his lifetime, I can only think that this is an American spelling of the word, which seems to be taking over the whole Internet.
He is remembered for being a military genius, as he conquered Mexico by defeating many places, for example, his main accomplishment that he is most known for is conquring the Aztec Empire
Cortez was a Roman Catholic. When he conquered all of Mexico religious views of the people change. Today approximately fifty percent of Mexican citizens practice Catholism. He also conquered the Aztec Empire.
No impact. Make for great legends and stories, but nothing more.
The diseases and slavery that the European involvement in Central America, mostly headed by Cortes, had a huge impact on the United States, though indirectly. Due to Cortes'/European involvement this happened: 25 Million Native-American-Indians died from diseases and other reasons. Because of local (Spanish, not native American) protest (banned the use of native Americans as slaves), the Atlantic Slave Trade was indirectly started, the Africans believed to be tougher then the native Americans, and were able to 'take' more. You get the idea, we're talking late 1500s, so there wouldn't have been much actual (what we consider today) America yet. Those two things are the most prominent of the influences that Cortes had on the US history, however there is sure to be much more.
Hernando Cortes spent an estimated 200,000 ducats (equivalent to around $2 million in today's currency) on financing his exploration and conquest of the Aztec Empire in the early 16th century.
No. When he lived there was no police like today. People were thrown into prison,, or killed by the crown.

Cortes, during his lifetime was considered a hero by his companions and by his country, but bad by those he conquered and their descendants. Historical figures are as human as people are today, each with their own good and bad qualities. Cortes had many highs and lows in his lifetime and his professional career. When he finally conquered Mexico for Spain, surely the Spanish thought him a good man. When the Aztec people were his allies and helped to relieved them of their oppressors, surely they thought him a good man, their savior. Many people were slaughtered in Cortes' rise to power, surely those people considered him a bad man. Cortes was a man of his time following the rules of the time with the European mentality of his time. People today have only his actions to judge him by and may be judging him by today's standards. Was Cortes a good man? Today there can only be an individuals opinion.

Some of his crew sent him and his loyal crew and his son on a small boat and they were never heard from again.
