Oscar
“Óscar is used in Spain and occasionally in France, adapted from the Old Norse Ásgeir or the Old English Osgar — possibly composed of os meaning "god" and gar meaning "spear", or alternatively from the Irish/Scottish Gaelic Oscar meaning "friend of deer". The name gained European currency through James Macpherson's Ossian poems (1760s), which enchanted Napoleon — who named his stepson Oscar, who became King of Sweden.”
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.”
Cesar
“César is a Spanish masculine given name derived from the Roman family name Caesar, whose origin is disputed — possibly from the Latin caesaries meaning "head of hair" or from a word related to caesarean birth. Julius Caesar made the name synonymous with supreme authority, and through the Roman and Holy Roman Empires it passed into Spanish as César, used as both a given name and a title of imperial power.”
Ignacio
“Ignacio is the Spanish form of Ignatius, from the Latin Ignatius — possibly derived from the Latin ignis meaning "fire", though the name may be of Etruscan origin predating its folk-etymology connection to fire. Saint Ignatius of Antioch (c. 35–108) and Saint Ignatius of Loyola (1491–1556), founder of the Jesuits, gave the name its immense prestige in the Catholic and especially Spanish world.”
Inez
“Inez is the English and Spanish spelling of Inés, the Iberian form of Agnes, itself from the Greek "hagnos" meaning "pure" or "chaste". The name was widespread in medieval Spain and Portugal, carried most famously by Inês de Castro, a 14th-century Portuguese noblewoman whose tragic love story became the subject of enduring literary and operatic works.”
Alejandro
“Alejandro is the Spanish form of Alexander, from the Ancient Greek Alexandros — a compound of alexein meaning "to defend, protect" and aner meaning "man" — thus "defender of men". 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.”
