  5. Mercedes
    • Origin:

      Spanish
    • Meaning:

      "gracious gifts, benefits"
    • Description:

      Mercedes is one of the few names attached to luxury living that we can wholeheartedly recommend, it being a legitimate Spanish appellation stemming from one of the epithets given to the Virgin Mary--Santa Maria de las Mercedes, or Our Lady of the Mercies. The car, by the way was named after the eleven-year-old daughter of the Daimler company's French distributor in 1901.
  6. Esperanza
    • Origin:

      Spanish
    • Meaning:

      "hope, expectation"
    • Description:

      Esperanza is a Spanish classic that's found its way onto the national popularity list in recent years. It came into the spotlight not long ago when jazz singer Esperanza Spalding "stole" the Best New Artist Grammy from favorite Justin Bieber. It's also the name of the main character in the novel The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, about a young Latina growing up in Chicago.
  7. Rosario
    • Origin:

      Spanish
    • Meaning:

      "rosary"
    • Description:

      Anglo parents are taking note of this Hispanic classic, thanks to actress Rosario Dawson and a character on Will & Grace. Poetic and powerful, it comes from the Spanish title of the Virgin Mary, Nuestra Señora del Rosario, or "Our Lady of the Rosary", Rosary referring to vocal and mental prayer in Catholicism, that reflect on the life of Christ and his Mother.
  8. Juana
    • Origin:

      Spanish, feminine variation of Juan
    • Meaning:

      "God is gracious"
    • Description:

      Juana has not achieved the popularity in the U.S. of the male version Juan. Whereas Juan has made it almost to the Top 50 on the U. S. hit parade, sister Juana has barely entered the thousand most popular. It is nevertheless a popular choice in Mexico.
  9. Amada
    • Origin:

      Feminine variation of Amado, Spanish
    • Meaning:

      "loved"
    • Description:

      Amada is an unusual Spanish name that's becoming more famous thanks to Ryan Gosling and Eva Mendes, who named their second daughter Amada Lee and their first Esmeralda Amada. Amada was also the name of two characters played by Mendes and, not coincidentally, her grandmother's name. In 2015, it was used for only 21 girls while brother name Amado was used for twice as many girls, but we predict the name will become more popular thanks to its new star power. Related names include the Latin saints' name Amatus, the musical Amadeo, and even Amy and Amanda.
  10. Coco
    • Origin:

      Spanish and French pet name
    • Description:

      Coco came to prominence as the nickname of the legendary French designer Chanel (born Gabrielle) and has lately become a starbaby favorite, initially chosen by Courteney Cox for her daughter Coco Riley in 2004. At first it was the kind of name that the press loves to ridicule, but we predict Coco's heading for more broad acceptance and even popularity.
  11. Diablo
    • Origin:

      Spanish
    • Meaning:

      "devil"
    • Description:

      Diablo Cody, self-named (she's really Brook Busey) screenwriter of Juno, singlehandedly helped popularize not just her heroine's name and her own but all o-ending names for girls. You don't need us to tell you that it takes a brave parent, in every way, to name a baby Diablo. Diablo is one of the Spanish baby names that diverges furthest from the well-paved camino.
  12. Fidela
    • Description:

      Fidela is a feminine name with Latin origins, derived from 'fidelis' meaning 'faithful' or 'loyal.' This beautiful, classic name carries strong connotations of trustworthiness and devotion. Particularly popular in Spanish-speaking countries and communities, Fidela has historical significance as a name that embodies virtue and steadfastness. The masculine version, Fidel, may be more widely recognized, but Fidela has its own gentle charm and strength. Although not among the most common names in English-speaking countries, it maintains steady usage in Latin American and Catholic communities. The name's three melodic syllables flow gracefully, while its meaning offers a positive attribute that many parents wish for their daughters. Fidela combines traditional values with a distinctive, feminine sound.

  13. Fifi
    • Origin:

      French diminutive of Josephine, Hebrew
    • Meaning:

      "Jehovah increases"
    • Description:

      Fifi is a perfect name -- for a French poodle. But Fifi may seem more child-friendly as names like Coco and Lulu rise. Fifi in its fluffiness also balances the seriousness of such full names as Josephine or Federica.
  14. Florencia
    • Origin:

      Spanish, from Latin
    • Meaning:

      "flourishing, prosperous"
    • Description:

      A pretty elaboration on Florence used in Hispanic countries.
  15. Franka
    • Description:

      Franka is a feminine name with Germanic origins, serving as the feminine form of Frank. The name derives from the tribal name of the Franks, meaning "free one" or "free person." Popular throughout Central and Eastern Europe, particularly in Germany, Poland, Croatia, and neighboring countries, Franka carries a strong, independent spirit in its meaning. The name has a classic European sensibility while remaining relatively uncommon in English-speaking countries. Franka offers a distinctive alternative to more common feminine names while still being easily recognizable and pronounceable. Its cross-cultural presence makes it an option for parents seeking a name with international appeal and a powerful meaning.

  16. Hermosa
    • Origin:

      Spanish
    • Meaning:

      "beautiful"
    • Description:

      Hermosa, the name of a California beach town, means "beautiful".

      A distinctive, rhythmic, and lovely Spanish name that suggests enlightenment.
  18. Joaquina
    • Origin:

      Feminine variation of Joaquin, Spanish
    • Meaning:

      "God will judge"

      As Joaquin enters the American mainstream, his sister might just follow.
  19. Kahlo
    • Origin:

      German
    • Meaning:

      "bald"
    • Description:

      Contrary to popular belief, the name Kahlo has German origins, rather than Spanish. It derives from kahl, a German word meaning "bald." Mexican Artist Frida Kahlo was born to a German father, photographer Guillermo Kahlo.
  20. Leocadia
    • Origin:

      Spanish
    • Meaning:

      "splendid brightness"
    • Description:

      Leocadia marries a mix of sounds: the strength of a lion, with a rhythmic Latin ending.
