Surname Spelling Variations/ Indigenous Ancestry

Arturo,
Is Saucedo, a spelling variation for Salsedo/Salcedo/Salzedo?
I would be interested in reading what you have on the names that the
"indigenous," individuals used, absent of a surname...
On one of the lines that I am researching I have come across a Maria De La
Candelaria Salzedo Santa Maria bapt. Feb 1736 Tlaltenango De Sanchez Roman,
daughter of Joseph De Santa Maria y Juana Salzedo. Joseph's father is
mentioned as a Diego Thomas, married to Francisca Thomasa Santa Maria on 17
June 1710. Diego's parents are noted as being Juan Francisco y Ana
Agustina ... would this be an example of the naming practice of our
"indigenous," ancestors? Is Santa Maria considered a surname?
