Common and Popular Spanish Girl Names

We’ve gathered 50 of the best Spanish girl names in one place—so you can scroll through different styles, stories, and meanings to find the right fit for your little one.

1. Sofía. The Spanish take on Sophia, meaning “wisdom” in Greek. Sounds perfect for a little one who’s already wise beyond her years.

2. Valentina. This is the feminine side of Valentine, rooted in the Roman name Valentinus. It can mean “strong”, “vigorous,” or “healthy”—all great wishes for your little girl.

3. Isabella. Hailing from medieval Occitan origins (from Elizabeth), Isabella means “my God is an oath” in Hebrew. The form Isabel was big with Spanish and Portuguese royals, and it’s packed with prestige and confidence.

4. Camila. Spanish and Portuguese version of Camilla, the legendary female warrior in Virgil’s Aeneid. Talk about girl power.

5. Valeria. A cousin to Valentina (from Valerius), Valeria means “strong” too. There were loads of early saints with this name, and it’s just as popular as ever.

6. Mariana. From the Roman Marianus, or maybe a blend of Maria and Ana. The cute nickname Marianita makes it extra sweet.

7. Gabriela. The feminine take on Gabriel, meaning “God is my strength” in Hebrew. Gabriel is a famous archangel in both the Old and New Testaments.

8. Sara. The Spanish version of Sarah, meaning “lady,” “princess,” or “noblewoman” in Hebrew. In the Bible, Sara’s original name was Sarai, changed by God later on. Both versions are gorgeous for your little girl.

9. Daniela. For boys, Daniel means “God is my judge” in Hebrew. The feminine Daniela has a lovely melodic sound but a strong meaning at heart.

10. María José. Double names are everywhere in Spanish-speaking places, and María José is queen among them. Picked after Mary and Joseph—Jesus’ parents—it’s always said as one, not separated as first and middle names.

11. Alejandra. A bold name: the Spanish take on Alexandra, meaning “defender of mankind” in Greek. In Greek myths, it’s another name for Hera, goddess of childbirth, marriage, and all the gods. Makes for a truly powerful pick.

12. Amalia. This Spanish name, via Latin, comes from the German Amala, and amal means “work.” Amalia is a lovely choice for any baby girl.

13. América. Spanish version of the German Emmerich, meaning “whole ruler.” Named for the explorer Amerigo Vespucci, who inspired the continents’ name. With a famous actress too, it’s a unique choice for your girl.

14. Antonia. The feminine side of Antonius (Roman). It can mean “priceless” or “flourishing.”

15. Aurelia. From the family name Aurelius (Marcus Aurelius was a Roman Emperor), this Latin name means “golden.” A sweet idea for your precious one.

16. Bárbara. From the Greek for “foreign,” Bárbara is a solid name that’s always held its own in Hispanic families.

17. Carmen. The medieval Spanish spin on Carmel, which means “song.” It leapt into the spotlight thanks to the famous 19th-century French opera.

18. Eliana. Spanish for Elaine, coming from Greek roots meaning “sun.” A bright and sunny pick for a little girl with a glowing personality.

19. Fernanda. Classic and adventurous all at once, Fernanda is Spanish for the female Ferdinand. In German, it means “journey” and “brave,” perfect for a future explorer.

20. Leandra. The female version of Leander, meaning “lion man” in Greek—so Leandra could be “lion woman.” She even pops up in Greek mythology. It’s bold, a bit wild, and truly memorable for your little lioness.

21. Lucía. From the Latin word for “light”—and a saint’s name too. Lucía is the feminine side of Lucius.

22. Maura. The feminine of Maurus (Latin), meaning “Moorish”—a nod to Moorish Spain in the Middle Ages. Its gentle and musical sound will win you over.

23. Narcisa. The feminine of Narcissus (the boy of Greek myth transformed into a flower), Narcisa is a cool choice for nature lovers.

24. Raquel. The Spanish and Portuguese twist on Rachel, “ewe” in Hebrew. A good, solid biblical choice—and more uncommon than Rachel.

25. Renata. From Latin Renatus, the male form—meaning “born again.” Makes a striking name for a baby girl with a fresh start.

26. Xiomara. The Spanish take on Guiomar (from German Wigmar), with ties to the King Arthur legends. Xiomara definitely stands out—how many names do you know that start with X?

27. Yolanda. Means “violet” from the French Yolande—a flowery, fresh name.

28. Abril. Spanish for April (and the springtime month), Abril also comes from Latin “to open”—perfect for spring babies or little girls born as flowers bloom.

32. Ana. Short and sweet, Ana is the Spanish version of Anna. “Hannah” in the Bible, and common all over. Ann and Anne are other popular options.

33. Estrella. The Spanish version of Stella, meaning “star.” If your baby is your shining star, this might be the one.

34. Evita. A pet name for Eva (from Eve of the Old Testament). Famously, the nickname of Eva Perón, the former Argentinian first lady—and you might know her from the musical or the movie too.

35. Francisca. Spanish for Francis (from the Franks, an old Germanic tribe). The male form means “Frenchman”.

36. Inés. Spanish form of Agnes, meaning “chaste” in Greek. Another saintly pick.

37. Juana. The Spanish version of Joanna (from John). A 16th-century Castilian queen had this name. Juanita adds a sweet twist.

38. Julia. Spanish for Julius (from Jupiter, the Roman god). Romans loved this name—think Julia Augusta, wife of Emperor Augustus.

39. Ligia. Comes from the Greek for “clear-voiced” or “shrill”—Ligia was one of the Sirens in Homer’s Odyssey. Perfect for a chatterbox or a baby born with a big, beautiful voice.

40. Luisa. The female side to Luis, with both French and Latin roots. A cuter nickname: Luisita.

45. Mía. This is just the Spanish spelling of Mia (accent mark and all)—often short for Maria too.

46. Paz. Meaning “peace” in Spanish, and used as a gentle title for the Virgin Mary. Makes a cool, calm choice for a peaceful little one.

47. Rosa. A classic, sweet name meaning “rose,” from Germanic Roza—just as pretty and timeless as the flower itself.

48. Ángela. Means “angel,” taken from the Greek for “messenger.” Ángelica is a lovely nickname you can use too.

49. Carolina. The feminine of Charles, from the Latin Carolus (which means “man” or “warrior” in the original German).

50. Cristina. The female of Christian. There’s a saintly side here too, plus a famous Swedish queen who changed her life for faith.
