The name entered Spain via the Latin Alexander and underwent the characteristic Spanish consonant shift from x to j. Alexander the Great's legend, filtered through medieval romance, made the name one of the most prestigious in the Spanish-speaking world.”
Soledad
“From the Spanish soledad, meaning "solitude" or "loneliness," derived from the Latin solitudo. It is used as a given name in honour of the Virgin Mary under her title Nuestra Señora de la Soledad ("Our Lady of Solitude"), who represents Mary's grief after the Crucifixion. The name is primarily used in Spanish-speaking countries and among Hispanic communities.”

“Ainhoa is a Basque feminine given name taken from the name of a village in the French Basque Country (Lapurdi), itself from the Basque ainhoa meaning "fertile slope" or possibly from a root related to "Our Lady of Ainhoa", a Marian shrine there. The name gained popularity throughout Spain and the Basque Country in the late 20th century and has become one of the most beloved Basque feminine names, both in the Spanish Basque Country and in the French Pays Basque.”
Juana
“Juana is the Spanish feminine form of Juan, itself derived from the Latin Iohannes, from the Hebrew Yochanan meaning "God is gracious". It became one of the most common names in the Spanish-speaking world, borne by queens and saints alike. Its most famous historical bearer is Juana I of Castile, known as "Juana la Loca".”
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.”
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.”
