Naming notes

The given banks carry Catalan-form spellings (Lluïsa with the dieresis, Mariona). The surname bank is large at 1,200 entries against the smaller given banks, so the surname varies far more than the given name and pairings rarely repeat. Region label: Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearics.
