About Sancha
Sancha of Leon was an 11th century princess who became Queen of Spain after her brother was killed by Ferdinand I, whom she then married. A twisted tale indeed, but Sancha is one of those names that is both historic and extremely rare -- no babies were named Sancha or Sancho in the US in 2021. Sancho Panza was the sidekick of the fictional Don Quixote.
Pronounced SAHN-chah.
As of October 2026, Sancha ranked #10247 in US births in 1975 SSA, peaked at #7266 in 1973.
