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.”
Eduardo
“Eduardo is the Spanish and Portuguese masculine form of Edward, from the Old English Eadweard composed of ead meaning "wealth, fortune, prosperity" and weard meaning "guard, protector" — thus "wealthy guardian". The name was carried by several English kings and entered the Iberian peninsula through Anglo-Norman contacts, becoming Eduardo in Spanish and Portuguese. It is widely used across Spain, Latin America, and Portugal.”
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".”
Alejandra
“Alejandra is the Spanish feminine form of Alexander, derived from the Ancient Greek Alexandros — a compound of alexein meaning "to defend" and aner meaning "man", thus "defender of men". The transition from Alexandra to Alejandra involved the characteristic Spanish phonetic shift from x to j. It is the female equivalent of Alejandro, one of the most prestigious names in the Spanish-speaking world.”
Jaime
“Jaime is the Spanish and Portuguese masculine form of James (and Jacob), from the Hebrew Ya'akov meaning "supplanter" or possibly "may God protect" — via the Latin Jacobus. The name is widely used across Spain and Latin America and carries the authority of the biblical patriarch Jacob and the Apostle James (Santiago). Jaime I of Aragon (the Conqueror, 1208–1276), who conquered Mallorca, Valencia, and Murcia, made the name celebrated in Iberian 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.”
