We somehow discussed the topic of names at the aerodrome in the Venezuelan State of Aragua. Sergeant who was in Kazan asked me: "Why do you have the same names, everyone's name Ivan," I replied: "Well, Ivan - only my name, for my generation is very rare, I know no more than five Ivanov , of the same age, like me. Previously, it was a very common name, and I was called me in honor of my grandfather, uncle and many more relatives. For the next generation, they began to give the name Ivan again for the next generation, but for my generation Alexander is the most common. " "Well, and Sergey, Andrei? Almost everything with such names." "So you also have the names standard and repeat often, in Mexico so there is almost all José in general. Ivan corresponds to Juan, Sergey - Sergey - Sergey, Andrei - Andres. You also have a lot of people with such names. Also names are standard." Lieutenant passed by. I asked: "What is your name?" "Maria Alekandra". "You see, Maria. And the father of your name was Alejandro." "Yes," she replied. I told out of what we consists of the full name, and that the second name is given to the Father. "It turns out that you have only one surname, and it is always on your father. This is Machismo! ( Assochem - Self-Selfness, Male Chauvinism). Here we have two surnames: one from the Father, and the other from the mother, the equal rights are obtained. "" And the name of the mother is the name of the mother mother or father of the mother? Since the father of the mother, it turns out that you have a double self-catering. We have when a family is formed, the wife takes the surname of the husband, since for us the name - the name of the family, what and you now began to adopt, for example, at the former Mexican President Vicente Fox, his wife's name is Marta de Fox, that is, a preposition is added to the husband's surname And she wears her. "" Yes, a woman can see the surname of her husband, but before that puts the pretext " de"".
Among the Spanish surnames, too, there are very often encountered (and even more often than ours). Many have occurred on behalf of the Father and once the middle names, although now patronymic is not used, and many Spaniards do not know the meaning of the word "Patronímico" (patronymic). Most often such names end on "EZ" . For example, Gonzalez - on behalf of Gonzalo, although I know people with the surname Gonzalo. On behalf of Martin - Martinez, etc. I asked the Spaniards and Latin Americans, does Lopez last name from the wolf? Wolf in Spanish Lobo. The Spaniards told me what could be, but did not confirm and did not refute. There are surnames from the names of cities or settlements, like Calatayud (city in Spanish Aragon). According to some surnames, you can define Spanish roots, for example, Leon's roots of the surname Chabolia. There are surnames that occur simply from any Spanish words, for example, Friesia (the second surname of Hugo Chávez) from the word "frio" is cold; Sapato - shoe. There are surnames from professions, such as Eskudero (Schielder or Manufacturer Shields); Sapatero - shoe. Of course, in Spain and Latin America there are Valencia surnames (for example, a reverse, luch), there is Catalan (boss, the Dutch artist Bosch is also written, and Holland was once the hold of the Spanish kingdom, and German Bosch is also written; Figgerroa; Picasso), Basque (Loyola, Urkiola) and Galician. In Latin America, especially in Mexico, there are Indian surnames, such as AKE (AH KE - a deer man at Maya) or Pech (tick). Spanish America was settled not only by the Spaniards, and there are often encountered Italian and other European surnames, there are Russians, especially in Argentina, from where I get many letters from people with Slavic surnames, for whom the native language is Spanish, with a request to explain them the importance of their names .
Names are usually usually from two, but there may be only one, standard Catholic names, and I call these names in the plate below (too, only the most popular, and a more detailed list can be viewed on the page http://www.crecerfeliz.es/ Muy-Util / Nombres-de-Ninos, if you, of course, read in Spanish). The names of their own have a diminutive, as we have. And from these dimensions, surnames are also formed, such as Chavez (Chávez), on behalf of Chava, decreasing from Salvador. Often now, Spaniards and Latin Americans give their children such names like Tatyana, Olga, Ivan, Boris and Vladimir. Some even think that this is Spanish names. And name Vladimir Pronounce with an emphasis on the last syllable or write with the letter "O" at the end. With their confusion "b" and "in" and utter sound "l" semi-muggy, this name is often heard as "whistle ú p ". I am striking the Cubans when they learn how the name of Lenin hurry Parents, giving the name of the heroine that rushed under the train, she could not explain, and also incorrectly put the emphasis in her second name.
Each name, male or female, is its own story. It is almost impossible to accurately determine where and under what circumstances first began to call children with one or another name. Everyone has a story, leaving its roots to the ancient myths and legends. Most likely, the majority of the names simply indicate the character line that the child wants to instill.
But why do new names appear? Causes are different: wars, geographical or scientific discoveries, emigration and immigration of the population.
If you look into the document of the Spanish citizen, then there you can see no more than 2 names and 2 names, despite the fact that in most European countries their number is unlimited. This is due to the fact that the state seriously suits this issue to avoid numerous confused. When baptizing, kids can be assigned any, permissible (approved) church names in unlimited quantities. As a rule, this is done like this:
- The eldest son receives the first name of the Father, the second - grandfather on the men's line;
- The eldest daughter takes first the name of the mother, and then the name of the mother's grandmother.
In general, the Spanish name consists of three main elements: personal name ( nombre.) and two surnames ( apellido.): Father ( apellido Paterno. or primer Apellido.) and mother ( apellido Materno.orsegundo Apellido.).
The Spaniards are the believers of Catholics, they pay great importance in their lives, and therefore most names leave their roots to the Catholic saints. Unusual and extravagant names, the Spaniards do not like and do not accept them in their lives. There are cases when the state refused to foreigners in obtaining due to the fact that their names were rather unusual (for example, it is impossible to determine the sexuality of the carrier).
Many are associated with Spain and Latin American countries, since the Spanish language is official in these territories, and when studying the Spanish language, the teacher can make emphasis on differences between cultures and pronunciations. As for the names, there are also very big differences here, despite the fact that Latin Americans use Spanish names. The only difference is that they can call a child as they want. Children are called English, American or even Russian names, if it likes to parents, and it will not be punishable by the state.
You can take a terrorist from Venezuela as an example. His name was Ilyich, and his brothers Lenin and Vladimir Ramirez Sanchez. A convinced Communist Father displaced his views on life through the names of his children.
But such exceptions are extremely rare, although there are no boundaries and stereotypes for modernity. In Spain, simple and classic names with uneasy values, such as Juan, Huanita, Julio, Julia, Mary, Diego, and others, remain at the peak of popularity.
Separately, I would like to highlight the names and their origin (female):
- Biblical names: Anna, Maria, Martha, Magdalena, Isabel;
- Latin and Greek names: Barbor, Veronica, Elena, Paola;
- Germanic: Eric, Motild, Carolina, Louise, Frida.

Similarly, foreigners are hard to understand why Alexander we call Shurikom 🙂
Almost all Spanish names are simple, but beautiful. We hope to get acquainted with them will facilitate you communication with the speakers of the Spanish language, because now you know a little more about the Spaniards!

Spanish names consist of three main elements: a personal name (Span. nombre. ) And two surnames (Span. apellido. ). A feature of the structure of the Spanish name is the presence of two surnames at once: Father (Span. apellido Paterno. or primer Apellido. ) And Mother (Span. apellido Materno. or segundo. apellido. ). The choice of personal names in Hispanic countries is usually determined by church and family traditions.
From Wikipedia:
In addition to the name received from the parents, the Spaniards wear the names obtained by baptism from the cross-priest and shaft parents. Most of the names received by the Spaniard are not used, but only one or two names are used, for example, of the current king of Spain five personal names - Juan Carlos Alfonso Maria Victor (Span. Juan. Carlos. Alfonso. V.í ctor Mar.í a. ), But all of your life he uses only two of them - Juan Carlos.
According to the Spanish legislation, no more than two names and two surnames can be recorded in the documents in humans. In fact, when baptism, you can give any names as you like, depending on the desire of parents. Typically, the oldest son gives the first name in honor of the Father, and the second in honor of the grandfather on his father, and the eldest daughter is the name of the mother and the name of the grandmother on the maternal line.
The main source of names in Spain is Catholic sacraticles. There are few unusual names, because the Spanish registration legislation is pretty severe: not so long ago, the Spanish authorities refused to obtain a certain Colombian citizenship by name Darling Veles. On the grounds that her name is too unusual and it is impossible to determine the floor of its carrier.
There are no such restrictions in Latin America, and the fantasy of parents can work freely. 
Sometimes this fantasy generates absolutely wondrous combinations, like Taj Mahal Sanchez, Elvis Presley Gomez Morillo and even Hitler Eufemio Major.. And at the famous Venezuelan terrorist Ilyich Ramires Sanchez The nicknamed Carlos Jackal had two brothers who were called ... Vladimir and Lenin Ramirez Sanchez.
However, all these are rare exceptions. In the Spanish world, the hit parade of names that year is headed by familiar classic names: Juan, Diego, Carmen, Daniel, Camila, Alejandro and, of course, Maria.
Simply Maria.
For quite understandable reasons, this name is one of the most common in Spain. It is given both girls and boys (the latter - as an info to the male name: Jose Maria, Fernando Maria). However, many Spanish and Latin American Mary are not just Mary: they may have in the documents Maria de Los Mercedes, Maria de Los Angeles, Maria de Los Dolores. In everyday life, Mercedes, Dolores, Angeles, is usually named, which literally sounds for our ear rather strange: "mercy" (just like that, in the plural), "Angels", "sorrow". In fact, these names occur from various titles of Our Lady, taken from Catholics: Mar.í a. dE. las. Mercedes. (Mary's lovely, letters. "Mary of Vosta"), Mar.í a. dE. lOS. Dolores. (Maria Grown, letters. "Maria Sorrow"), Mar.í a. lA Reina. dE. lOS. Á ngeles. (Maria - Queen Angels).
In addition, children often give names in honor of the distortion icons or statues of Our Lady. For example, the famous opera singer Montserrat Cabel (which turns out to be catalyst, at the closest review of the name) is actually called Maria de Montserrat Vivian Concepcion Caballe and Folk, and called it in honor of the Mary of Martserrat's revered in Catalonia - the miraculous statue of the Virgin Mary from the monastery on Mount Montserrat.
Pancho, Honcho and Lupita.
Spaniards - Great Wizards to form diminutive names. The easiest way is to add dimincing suffixes: Gabriel - Gabrie lito, FIDER - FIDE lito, Juan - Juan it.. If the name is too long, then the main part "leaves" from it, and then everything is the same suffix: Concepcion - Copter, Guadalupe - Lupita and Lupil. Sometimes truncated forms of names are used: Gabriel - Gabi. or Gabri, Teresa - Tere. My favorite Penelope Cruz close name is simple "PE".
However, not everything is so simple. Sometimes identify the connection between the diminutive and full name on the hearing is generally impossible: for example, a small Francisco can be called at home Pancho, Paco or Kuro, Eduardo - Lalo, Alfonso - Honcho, Anunciasion - Chon or Chonita, Hesus - Chuchu, Chui or Chus. The situation is complicated by the fact that different names may be the same diminutive: Lencho - Florencio and Lorenzo, Chico - Salvador and Narso, Cheloe - Angeles and Consuelo (women's names), as well as Selio and Marsejo (men).
The diminutive forms are formed not only from individual names, but also from double:
Jose Maria - what
José Angel - Channel
Huang Carlos - Huang, Huankar, Huanki
Maria Louis - Marisa
Jesus Ramon - Hessr, Hera, Herra, Chuimoncho, Chuimchi
Man or woman?
Once, at the dawn of the popularity of soap operas, the Venezuelan series "Cruel World" was broadcast on our television, the name of the main character of which our audience at first hesitated as Rosary. A little later it turned out that her name is Rosari about , and diminishing - Charita. Then again it turned out that not Charit, and freak aboutBut our viewers who have already managed to get used to the deaths and estherscites, continued to call it "in the female kind" - Charita. So they said, retelling each other another series: "And Jose Manuel with Charitian yesterday was kissed ...".
In fact, soapy heroine was really called Rosario, not Rosary. Word rosario.
in Spanish 
Language male genus and denotes rosarywhich is read by a special prayer of the Virgin Mary, which is also called Rosario. (in Russian - Rosary). Catholics even exists a separate holiday of the Virgin Mary, Queen Rosary (Span. Maria.
del.
Rosario.).
In hispanic-speaking countries, Rosario's name is very popular, it is given to girls, and boys, but traditionally it is considered female. And this is not the only one women's name- "Hermaphrodge": Names Amparo, Sokorro, Pilar, Salt, Consuelo Educated from Spanish words amparo., socorro., pilar., sOL., consuelo., grammatically belonging to the male race. And, accordingly, the diminutive forms of these names are also formed on the "male" way: Charito, Charo, Koio, Consulito, Man (although there are "female" forms: Consue regional, Pilarita).

Features of the Spanish surname.
And, finally, let's talk a little about Spanish surnames. The surnames of the Spaniards are two: paternal and maternal. At the same time, as already mentioned, father's surname ( apellido. pATERNO. ) is put in front of the maternal ( apellido. mATERNO. ): Federico Garcia Lorca (Father - Federico Garcia Rodriguez, mother - Vista Lorc Romero). For official circulation is used only by the father's surname: Accordingly, the Spanish poet contemporaries called Senor Garcia, and not Senor Lorca.
True, this rule is exceptions: Pablo Picasso (Full name - Pablo Ruiz Picasso) became known not under the father's surname Ruis, but under the mother - Picasso. The fact is that Rieshs in Spain are not less than Ivanovy in Russia, but the name Picasso meets much less often and sounds much "individual."
Inherited, only the main surname of the Father is usually transferred, but in some cases (as a rule, in noble families, and the parents of parents are transferred to children (actually the names of grandmothers on both sides).
In some localities there is a tradition to add the name of the area, where the carrier of this name or his ancestors was born. For example, if a person is called Juan Antonio Gomez Gonzalez de San JoseIn this case, Gomez is the first, father's surname, and Gonzalez de San Jose is the second, maternal. In this case, the particle "De" is not an indicator of noble origin, as in France, but simply means that ancestors Mother of our Juan Antonio there were originally from the town or village called San Jose.
Sometimes the father's and maternal surnames are separated by a particle "and": Francisco de Goya-I-Luciates, José Ortega-and-Gasset. In Russian transcription, such names are customary to write through a hyphen, although they are usually written in the original without dividing signs: Francisco. dE. Goya. y. Lucientes., Jos.é ORTEGA. y. Gasset..
When marriage, the Spanish does not change the last name, and simply add a husband's surname to Apellido Paterno: for example, Laura Riario Martinez, having married a person by Marquez's name, Laura Riario de Marquez or Laura Riario, Señora Marquez.
