Hispanic Baby Names: Family Context, Language, and U.S. Usage, Page 14
Hispanic baby names do not come from one country, race, language history, or naming tradition. “Hispanic or Latino” is a broad U.S. identity category that includes many national and community contexts; it is not an etymology label. In this 1,229-name editorial pool, 829 records have the site's stored origin “Spanish” and 400 have other stored origins. That mixture can be useful for discovery, but it must not be presented as 1,229 names of a single origin.
Begin with the family and community you are actually naming within, then compare Spanish-language forms such as Mateo, Sofia, Santiago, Diego, and Elena with cross-language forms such as Gabriel, Daniel, and Samuel. The guide separates identity, language, etymology, U.S. usage, accents, compound names, pronunciation, faith, and family inheritance so a shortlist can be specific without pretending to represent every Hispanic family.
