ArchivesRe: girls names of both Spanish and Celtic origin or association
in reply to a message by AmandaND
Neve (pronounced nehv) is the Portuguese (NOT Spanish) word for "snow" but it isn't used as a given name (the Actress Neve Campbell was named after her mother's Portuguese maiden name) Anyway, don't it's very logical to use a Portuguese name to honour Hispanic origin.
The first name that came to mind for you was Alba: the original name for Scotland and also a very popular Spanish name meaning "dawn".
There are a few Spanish forms of Celtic (not necessarily Scottish) names:
Brigida , same as Bridget;
Genoveva , same as Genevieve;
Tristana
Isolda
Morgana
Celtic or Scottish names that are sometimes used in Spanish:
Edna
Muriel
Cordelia
Maeva
Alexandrina, Annabella, Clementine, Charlotte, Emilienne, Florence, Frederica, Katharina, Mary (May), Maud, Penelope, Rosamund, Theodora (Teddy).
Aubrey, Axel, Benedict, Bertrand (Bertie), Cuthbert, Dashiell, Everard, John (Jack) Leopold (Leo), Magnus, Matthias, Maximilian (Max), Wilfred.
