115 Argentina Baby Names With Meanings

Argentina, a massive country in South America, no longer has a clear cut naming custom as it had before. Prior to name record keeping, people had just one name. But as the population expanded, it became necessary to add descriptive information to distinguish between individuals of the same name. Also, in the past, the first born babies were named after their parents. But today, parents focus on uniqueness and distinctiveness of the name. They pick names that are fashionable, trendy, and unique. So it’s common to name children after sports, political, and pop culture celebs.

In earlier times, baby names needed to be Spanish as Argentina is largely a Spanish speaking country. If parents wanted a name of a different ethnicity or language for their children, they needed to seek permission from the Government. But this rule has now been relaxed. There are still some conditions pertaining to baby names, but that’s to stop parents from picking weird and unusual names that can affect the child in later life.

Additionally, it was mandatory for married women to take their husband’s name. But the law now allows women to use their maiden name. She can add her husband’s name to her name if she wishes to do so. Below MomJunction has compiled a list of unique and beautiful Argentina baby boy and girl names for your reference. Take a look.
