ArchivesEnglish to Spanish names
We are having a Cinco de Mayo celebration and I would like to have our guests call each other by their Mexican name. We will supply name tags. I have searched for a site and cannot find one. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Here is a goo site...
Hi!
I found some sites a while ago, while searching for the meaning of some Nahuatl names. Before I post the site I most clear this out(or I will burst :op)
- Native Mexican names are NOT, even remotely, related to Spanish. There forth, this cannot be considered an "English to Spanish" translation. Mexican to English would be a Nahuatl, Aztec or Mayan to English translation. Plus, most of this native languages first names do not have an equivalent English name, as they would translate into things, such as, Xochitl "Flower" or Balam "Tiger".
But, if what you are looking for is a plain Spanish to English translation of the names, then simply click con the Spanish Names link in behindthename.com and voila!!
OK, so after this speech that no one asked for and/or care for, I am glad to present you with this sites,

You can find 100% native Mexican names in them
Hope this helps,

Ooo! An idea...
If you want to give your party guests *totally* Hispanic names -- which include both a Hispanic first name *and* surname, you can let one of the BtN anagrammers anagram a total Hispanic name out of their real name.
One suggestion. Don't post the person's full name on the board. What you can do is scramble the letters of their first and last names together, for privacy.
Then, through the magic of anagramming, we'll find out what Hispanic names are hidden within the real names of your friends. :)
Of course, if any of these names have a "k" or "w" in them, we may have to substitute a different letter.

I don't know if this'll help, but you could try finding some here: http://www.namenerds.com/uucn/international/internframe.html
I assume you're looking for Spanish forms of English names? A lot of the more common ones are listed there.
