spanish female names
|
There are some really pretty female spanish names with lovely meanings and the little babies - more often than not dark-haired and dark-eyed - look so appealing!
They have hardly left the hospital before their tiny ears are pierced but, I must say, the result is charming and it is certainly easy to differentiate baby girls from boys!
Many frequently-used girls´ names are in some way connected with the Virgin Mary.
For example, Consuelo and Concepción.
Consuelo means consolation and is taken from the title of the Virgin Mary, Nuestra Señora del Consuelo, meaning Our Lady of Consolation.
Concepción, is given in reference to the Immaculate Conception of Mary.
Anyway, I hope you have fun looking through the list and manage to find some female spanish names that appeal.

As you can see, several female spanish names have biblical origins.
Until fairly recently, if parents wanted their child to be baptized with non-biblical names, permission had to be granted from the Roman Catholic authorities.
María is the best-known of female spanish names, but its original meaning is not certain.
Various theories include star of the sea and wished-for child.
The name María is often doubled up with another, for example María José or María Teresa.
