Im Pedro Sabino!

Pedro comes from "rock" in latin. It's a religious name actually, but my family is not religious, just because my parents liked it! =P
It's when Jesus turns to St. Peter(peter wasn't his real name actually, thats just the translation they made) and says: we are going to build your church near that rock... and well, in latin "rock" is close to pedra =P xD lol

and Sabino comes from the roman times..... way before the empire and the republic, when Rome was just a small village, they had a neighbour village, the Sabinos.... it comes from there =] lol
actually the romans invaded sabino, afraid of being invaded by them. the romans were very obsessive with that!

funny thing thought!! my grandfather is the only sabino in the family. all his brothers and sisters are/were "Castanho"....dont know why o_O!
castanho means "brown"!!...well, but seeing that. im actually really glad of being sabino, than "brown"!! xD
Braga would be better, of all of them! is my mother's singles surname! its the name of a northern portuguese city. it was a roman city, called Bracara!

so, im Pedro Miguel Braga Sabino. im portuguese!
