There are so many things to love about the Spanish language. It’s romantic, rolls off the tongue effortlessly, and gives so much inspiration in the baby name department. If you’re also looking for some Spanish baby names, we’ve got you covered. Just keep reading.
You must have noticed that Spanish names are longer than those found in other cultures. And by longer, we don’t mean more letters. Their names consist of more words. At the time of birth, Spanish babies are given one or two given names and two surnames. The first surname is the paternal surname, which is the father’s first surname and second is the maternal surname, which is the mother’s first surname. Women are not required to change their surname after they get married. So in a family, the mother, father, and children can have different surnames. Another important thing to note is that full names are used only in formal, legal, and document-related matters while given names or first names are used in day-to-day life.
From the country of tortillas, Don Quixote, margarita, and flamingo MomJunction brings you a list of exotic, traditional, and popular Spanish baby names with meanings. We hope it will help you make a choice that is right for you and your family.
