It’s like other Spanish/german names that mixed with the Cajuns in the 1800s (Miguez, Ramirez, Hymel, Toups, Waguespack, etc)

Can’t forget the Martin-ez

Paternal side is French but not Cajun
Technically, some of the names on the list are French but not Cajun. (And Romero isn’t even French.)

I’m 18-20. Don’t personally know a Thibodeaux or a Benoit.

Well one of the names is common especially around is Romero. That’s Spanish which settled in New Iberia and came from the Iberia Peninsula in Spain

There's also some Filipino blood thanks to the Spanish trade route that went from Manila across Mexico to Louisiana and then to Spain.
