Spanish soap opera are not the only things we enjoy. It’s the characters and their beautiful and unique Latin names that make a lasting impression on us. If you also want a name that won’t be forgotten, pick a Latin name for your baby.
Latin, a classical language belonging to the Italic branch of Indo-European language, was the official language of Italy during the Roman Republic times. The linguistic power of Latin influences not just the nations, but also Romantic languages like Spanish, French, and Italian. The vocabularies of other languages also owe to the Latin language.
The Latin naming conventions consisted of a combination of personal and family names, which was referred to as the tria nomina. First came the heredity surname that identified a person as a member of a particular generation. This was followed by the forename or personal name, which was used to distinguish between different members of the family.
You’re highly unlikely to listen Latin spoken on the streets today, but you can, at least, bestow a Latin name on your child. The list below presents an array of Latin names for different sources. Some are colorful, while others are classic and traditional.
