Just mentioning Spain brings up interesting and evocative images of a warm, romantic landscape full of heroism and valor. If you have an interest in this area of the world, or perhaps have heritage from there, then perhaps you might be interested in naming your child-to-be with an appropriate Spanish name.
There are many wonderful names to choose from that come from this awe-inspiring country. Let’s take a look at a few Spanish baby names starting with the letter “I.”
Ignacio and Isandro: these are two very strong Spanish names for boys that evoke a sense of bravery and boldness. Ignacio simply means “fiery” while Isandro means “liberator.” These names are sure to inspire your little one’s brave and bold nature for many years to come.
For more feminine Spanish names that start with “I”, we have Isabel and Inez. These are two fairly common names that have a beautiful ring to them when thought of or said aloud that can remind us of the royalty of days past. Isabel is Spanish for “pledged to God” and is a variant of the name Elizabeth. Inez means “pure, pristine” and is a variation of the name Agnes.
If you or your partner are of Spanish ancestry or have grown up in a Spanish-dominant culture, then you can’t go wrong with utilizing one of these names for your future child. These are just a small number of the many choices you have at your disposal.
