About spanish names
Pairings such as "Joaquin Ramos" and "Claudia Ocaña" follow the familiar given-plus-surname rhythm, and entries like "Ana Maria Martín" show the doubled given names common across the Spanish-speaking world. The mix spans Iberian and Latin American registers, so check whether a surname like Oñate or Domínguez matches your setting's region. Drop them into literary fiction, telenovela scripts, or quick tabletop NPCs.

Naming notes
Two templates run over three banks: a male given name plus surname, and a female given name plus surname, with the surname bank shared. The three banks are moderate and close in size, so given names and surnames vary at similar rates. Surnames keep the ñ and accented vowels (Piñera, Téllez) as stored. Region label: general Castilian Spanish, separate from the site's Aragonese, Asturian, Catalan and Galician sets.
Questions about spanish names
- How is a Spanish name built here?
- A gender-tagged given name plus a surname. Males draw from a 179-entry bank, females from a 193-entry bank, and both share a 274-entry surname pool.
- Is this general or regional?
- It carries the general Castilian label; the site keeps separate Aragonese, Asturian, Catalan and Galician sets for the regional traditions.
- Are the ñ and accents kept?
- Yes. Surnames such as Piñera and Téllez are stored with their ñ and accented vowels, so the surname slot keeps them rather than stripping them.
