Zusammenfassung
Linguistics considers different classifications of surnames according to theirmotivation, morphology or semantics. In the case of Galician surnames, Boullón-Agrelo (2008) proposes a classification based on three main groups: appellatives,patronymics and toponymics. In order to classify Galician surnames in these th-ree categories, Web Scraping techniques were used, i.e. a process of extractingcontent and data from websites, scraping official Galician, Spanish and even Por-tuguese language dictionaries. These techniques were very useful, especially forappellatives.
