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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
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.”
