9. Thanks. His "family" name is Victoria

It's a Spanish word meaning "Victoria"

I also got that family name confused with the woman who is sitting next to Mr Victoria Dominguez on the plane.

Spanish to men's last names traditionally include the mother's family name, but that's very rarely passed down to a third generation. A century ago his mother would have her name changed at marriage to "Sra. Dominguez de Victoria" but not every family follows that tradition these days.
