I looked for a person recently online who my husband and I knew in the aviation community in OC, CA many years ago. His last name was Machado and someone wrote “he was half German and half Portuguese, which he claims gives him a genetic predisposition to conquer a country and then go fishing”.

I’m sure the words were his own as he was quite a comedian along with superb flying skills.

The master falconer who trained my wife had the surname Machado. Nice lady. Very skilled. All the other people with the Machado surname in my circle were on tuna seiners.
