Carlota
“Carlota is the Spanish and Portuguese feminine form of Carlos (Charles), from the Old High German Karl meaning "free man" or "man". Charlotte entered Spain as Carlota through French influence, and the name carries imperial associations through Carlota of Mexico (Maximilian's Belgian empress). It is used across Spain and Latin America and carries the elegance of its French source alongside distinctly Iberian warmth.”
Teresa
“Teresa is a feminine given name of uncertain but likely Greek origin, possibly from the Greek theresia meaning "harvester" or from the island of Thera (Santorini). It became enormously popular across the Catholic world through Saint Teresa of Ávila (1515–1582), the Spanish mystic, Doctor of the Church, and author of The Interior Castle, and later through Saint Thérèse of Lisieux. It is used across Spanish and Italian.”
Encarnacion
“Encarnación is a Spanish feminine name derived from the Catholic feast of the Incarnation (La Encarnación), commemorating the moment when God became flesh in the person of Jesus. From the Latin incarnatio, "act of being made flesh". It is a distinctly Iberian religious name, especially common in Andalusia and other devout regions of Spain, often shortened to Encarna.”
Manuela
“Manuela is the Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian feminine form of Manuel, itself derived from the Hebrew Immanuel meaning "God is with us," composed of im (with), anu (us), and El (God). The name carries deep biblical resonance as the name given to the prophesied Messiah in Isaiah. It is common in Latin American and southern European cultures, and appears occasionally in Slavic regions.”
Rodrigo
“Rodrigo is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Roderick, from the Visigothic name Hrodric composed of hrod meaning "fame" and ric meaning "power, ruler" — thus "famous ruler". The name is particularly associated with Rodrigo Díaz de Vivar, the 11th-century Castilian knight known as El Cid, one of the greatest heroes of Spanish literature and history.”
Rosario
“Rosario is a Spanish and Italian given name, used for both men and women, from the Latin rosarium meaning "rose garden" or "rosary" — referring to the Catholic devotion of the Rosary (Nuestra Señora del Rosario, Our Lady of the Rosary). The name is one of the most distinctively Iberian Catholic names, deeply embedded in Spanish and southern Italian religious culture, where the Rosary is central to Marian devotion.”
