For soon-to-be parents preparing for the arrival of their baby girl, trying to find the perfect baby name can be an exciting, but daunting, task. From unique baby girl names to old-fashioned baby names to everything in-between, there is no shortage of monikers to choose from.
For Latino parents who want to honor their heritage and culture, to parents who are simply looking for feminine names, Spanish girl names can be a great moniker for your bundle of joy.
Pamela Redmond, a baby-naming consultant, says that the most popular Spanish girl names in the U.S. are often the same names that are popular in Mexico and other Latin American countries.
"They may also may honor Latinx celebrities," Redmond tells TODAY.com, adding that Spanish names for girls are growing in popularity in the United States.
“Hispanic parents are more likely to use Spanish names, including non-Anglicized ones that are harder for English-speakers to pronounce, such as Ximena,” Redmond explains. “Non-Hispanic parents might also be attracted to romantic and feminine Spanish names for girls.”
The five most popular Spanish girl names in the U.S. all end with "a," and many of them have particularly beautiful meanings:
- Camila — "Young ceremonial attendant"
- Sofia — "Wise"
- Valentina — "Strength, health"
- Ximena — "One who hears"
- Liliana — "Lily"
Other popular Spanish names for girls include: Lucia, Sofia, Martina, Maria, Julia, Olivia, Isabella, Isla, Luna and Arianna.
If you're a big fan of groundbreaking Latino celebrities, you can turn to the rich and famous for some inspiration as well, including famous parents who have picked unique Spanish girl names for their children.
Puerto Rican rapper and singer Daddy Yankee, for example, picked two stand-out Spanish names for his daughters, Yamilet and Jesaeelys. And of course, there are a number of Latina celebrities with beautiful Spanish names, including Rosario Dawson, Salma Hayek, Eva Longoria and Shakira.
Here are just a few of the many Spanish names for girls for any soon-to-be parent to consider.
