Spanish is the second most-spoken language in the United States. It’s no surprise that Spanish baby names are a popular subject for a lot of the country’s inhabitants. Here are some great Spanish names for girls that start with the letter “J.”
When one thinks of the name Jade, images come to mind of beautiful green stones and lovely ornamentation. It is a Spanish-derived name that means “stone of the side.” Jade’s gorgeous green coloration makes this name a wonderful choice for any girl.
Is your family an adherent of the Christian religion? Many names have a Christian background while being of a female bent. Joaquina is the feminine variant of the male name Joaquin, which is the Spanish version of the name Joachim. Joachim is the father of the Virgin Mary in the Christian faith.
Two other Spanish names for girls are Josepha and Juana. These are the feminine versions of the male names Joseph and Juan, respectively. Juana, in particular, has its roots in the Hebrew name Yochanan which roughly means “Yahweh is gracious.”
