Isabel
“Isabel is the Spanish and Portuguese form of Elizabeth, a medieval Iberian variant of the Hebrew Elisheba meaning "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance". The name was borne by two of history's most powerful women: Queen Isabel I of Castile (1451–1504), sponsor of Columbus's voyages, and her granddaughter Isabel of Portugal. It is one of the most prestigious and beloved names in the Spanish-speaking world.”
Jade
“From the Spanish phrase piedra de la ijada, meaning "stone of the flank" or "loin stone," because the gemstone was thought to cure colic and kidney ailments when placed on the abdomen. The word passed into English via French jade. The stone itself — prized across Asia, Mesoamerica, and the Mediterranean — has long been associated with purity, good fortune, and protective power.”
Penelope
“Penelope is a feminine given name of Greek origin from the Homeric Penelopê, whose etymology is uncertain — possibly from pene meaning "thread on a bobbin" (relating to the famous weaving) or from a pre-Greek root. In Homer's Odyssey, Penelope is the faithful wife of Odysseus who waits twenty years for his return, unraveling her weaving each night to delay her suitors. Her name became the archetype of conjugal fidelity.”
Luis
“Luis is the Spanish form of Louis/Ludwig, from the Old Frankish Chlodovech or Hludowig, composed of hlud meaning "fame" and wig meaning "warrior" — thus "famous warrior". It entered Spanish through the French Louis and became one of the most enduring masculine names in Spain and Latin America, borne by kings, saints, and countless literary figures.”
Jose Manuel
“José Manuel is a Spanish compound masculine given name combining José (from the Hebrew Yosef, "God will add") and Manuel (from the Hebrew Immanu'el, "God is with us"). Double names of this type represent the Spanish tradition of honouring two saints simultaneously, and José Manuel is one of the most classic Iberian combinations, widespread across Spain and Latin America since the 18th century.”
Juan Jose
“Juan José is a Spanish compound masculine given name combining Juan (from the Hebrew Yochanan, "God is gracious") and José (from the Hebrew Yosef, "God will add"). Compound names of this type are deeply embedded in Iberian Catholic naming tradition, often honouring two saints simultaneously. The combination is one of the most classic double-barrelled names in Spain and Latin America.”
