Awki-2 / Huayna Capac Inka patriline Surname: Y-DNA Haplogroup
Published genetics research or a documented case study links the surname Awki-2 / Huayna Capac Inka patriline to a specific Y-DNA paternal-line haplogroup.
AWKI-2 haplotype (Q-Z19483)
Clade Q (Native American)
Also spelled: Awqi, Auqui
Found in one documented descendant of Inca Huayna Capac (father of Huascar and Atahualpa, whose succession war coincided with the Spanish conquest); the broader Q-Z19483 sub-lineage appears in dozens of unrelated Andean men, suggesting a Late Intermediate Period (1000-1450 AD) population expansion overlapping the rise of the Inca state.

How to read this. A surname match means some people with that surname, in a specific study or family record, were found to share a haplogroup, most likely due to a shared patrilineal ancestor generations back. It is not proof that you personally carry that haplogroup: surnames change through adoption, remarriage, non-paternity events, and independent origin of the same name in different families. For your own confirmed haplogroup, test your DNA with our HaploAI Y-DNA/mtDNA predictor.
