  The primary problem with the name is the form: [given name] [given name] [locative] [given name] [locative]. A quick survey of the first 4000 names (A­C) in the sixth volume of the Catalogo (dating around 1580), shows of those names, 5 had possibly four elements, and none had five. Of those five names, two (María Alvarez de Sotomayor de Quiroga and Pedro Gonzalez de Baeza de los Hermanos) are probably actually of the form [given name] [patronymic] [compound locative]. One other (Diego de Peralta Cabeza de Vaca) is probably of the form [given name] [locative] [compound locative] as Cabeza de Vaca is independently listed as a place name (in volume IV). The other two use the modern y formation: Diego García de Montalvo y Colindra and Miguel Jeronimo de Mendoza y Arquillada. [Constanzia Maria Morales Enzina d'Zamora, October 1997]

  Further, Palimpsest notes:
  While unmarked locatives are found as single bynames, I have seen no examples of unmarked locatives used in compound bynames. To make a compound byname with two locative elements, this needs to be altered to "de Vega y Palma" or "de la Vega y de Palma" (both "de Vega" and "de la Vega" are found in my Spanish names from the Late 15th Century: http://www.sca.org/heraldry/laurel/names/isabella/).
