Help[Opinions] Re: Intriguing list of medieval Spanish and traditional Sephardi Jewish names
in reply to a message by Just Jonquil
I really love Spanish names, and yes, a lot of these are very old and are rarely used today.
The ones most used today are:
Angel
Angela
Amado
Amada
Blanca (feminine form of Blanco)
Consuela
Esperanza
Estrella
Luna
Paloma (modern form of Palomba)
Sol
Part of the reason many of these are not used today is because they are actual words in the Spanish language.
Alegria (Aleqria): Joy, happiness
Angel: Angel
Amado/Amada: Beloved
Bienvenida: Welcome
Blanco: White
Cara: Face
Comprado: Bought
Consuela: Consolation
Dolza (Spanish, "dulce"): Sweet
Esperanza: Hope
Estimada: Esteemed
Estrella: Star
Fermosa (from Spanish "hermosa" and Portuguese "formosa"): Beautiful
Gracia: Grace
Luna: Moon
Nina: Little girl
Palomba (Spanish, Paloma): Dove
Preciosa: Precious
Sol: Sun
Ventura: Venture
