I think Nelly Furtado is Portuguese. Please don't name Brazilians as that is why I'm asking the question. Thanks!!

Thank you Stephanie C. The reason I want to know is that I am just interested in Europe and its cultures. Portugal is a very enigmatic country.

OK....
Henry the Navigator (Patron of the Portuguese discoveries)
Magellan (explorer)
Luis Figo (footballer)
Antonio Salazar (former dictator)
Luiz de Vaz Camoes (poet)
Vasco de Gama (explorer)
Pedro Alvares Cabral (explore - he discovered Brasil)
Eusebio (footballer)
Fernando Pessoa (poet)
BTW - Nelly Furtado is actually Canadian, though her parents did move there from Portugal.
That's a few to kick off with.
