de Tal

Hello,
Does "" mean "an anonymous person" literally? Thank you very much!
"O Senhor F. , redator da Warkad-Gazette, contratou casamento com a Senhorita Hilvia Kamond, filha da viúva Almirante Bartel Kamond", informava um jornal.

Hi,

O Senhor F.

In Spanish we use de tal to talk about or refer to someone whose name we do not know, have forgotten or do not want to reveal (we usually say Fulano/a de tal, do you know what F. stands for in the text? Fulano/a is a generic noun used to refer to someone without giving out their name). I think, and am pretty sure that I am not mistaken, that it works in the same way in Portuguese, see here (or below).

De tal

G.

I would say that here the name is (o Senhor) F. de Tal, "de Tal" being the surname.
