Just an educated guess here, but Mexico was conquered and colonized in the 16th Century by a relatively small group of Spaniards, and it may be that the native population of Mexico adopted these last names when they converted to Catholicism.

How many names do Hispanics have on average?

It is customary for Hispanics have four names, as follows: First Name + Middle Name + Paternal Grandfather's Last Name + Maternal Grandfather's Last Name However, nowadays, the rules are less strict and traditions are changing.
