Spanish Baby Names: New Trends
In southern Spain recently, researching Spanish baby names, I came up against the fact that Spain is a widely varied country with different languages and cultures — and different names depending on ethnicity and region.
Rather than simply Spanish baby names, there are Catalonian baby names and Basque names, names more popular in Galicia and those favored in Navarre. And of course names popular in Spain may be different from those used most widely in other Spanish-speaking countries, such as Mexico or Brazil.
Spanish baby names that are stylish today and may be ready for import to the U.S. include:
girls
* Aitana
* Alba
* Amada
* Aniceta
* Arcelia
* Aroa
* Blanca
* Calida

This is a lovely list. However, Brazil is not a spanish-speaking country. The people there speak Portuguese.

I´m going to seconde Kate in India – Brazil is not a Spanish-speaking country. There are many Portuguese names that are totally different than their Spanish translations. Portuguese names deserve their own list.
vaning Says:
Well I understand ‘Spanish’ as from Spain, if it were a latin american list then I guess they would include Brazil.
The list is full of beautiful names I haven’t heard before, I’m liking Aitana
