Then we can say the rest of South & Central America speak Spanish.

Yes, all apart from the bits that speak Dutch (Surinam, Aruva and the Antilles), English (Guyana, Belize, a number of Carribean Islands such as Trinidad and Tobago plus small pockets in Argentina and Brazil), Welsh (Patagonia, both in Argentina and Chile), not to miss the large number of people who speak an indiginous language such as Aymara, Quechua and Guarani as their primary language with Spanish sometimes (but not always) as a second language

But that's enough pedantry for now. (and I missed out French Guiana...)

But none of them are Native Speakers.... only Spain speaks the native tongue.

Lots of Native languages in the Americas and none of them are Spanish or indeed English.

In some parts of Britain today that type of name would be regarded as foreign.
