Macarro is a surname I can’t find much on other than it’s most prevalent in Spain (considering Ana de Armas is Spanish I think)
According to this website, the first syllable “Mac” means son of, kind of like “Mc” or “O’”. Eve’s father dies/gets murdered and it’s like pretty silly that her last name means “child of” or atleast in the first part of it just characterizes her as a whole as someone’s child.
I don’t know Spain-Spanish (or just spanish general😭) but “Macarro” apparently means bread roll…. so yeah. But colloquially it also means to make fun of someone/tease someone. +there’s a children’s game called “Santo Macarro” (Saint Macarius I think??)
A variation I found is “Macario” which means forunate or supremely blessed which is dervied from the Greek “Makarios” and Latin “Macarius”
