Page{1} Girl's and Boy's Given Names from Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas by [email protected] This booklet has a listing of the most commonly found girls and boys given names from my kindred group. Most of my ancestors and those of my kindred group come from the Mexican States of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas. These given names were gathered from my ever growing genealogy database that currently has over 332,000 records. I have been doing family history research for over twenty years. You see lots of given names in that time and with them come questions. Should you decide to skip this introduction let me explain the listings. There is first an alphabetically sorted table of 500 girls given names and another table of 500 boys given names. The name is followed by rank. The ranking is from 1, the most common given name, to 500 the least common given name. The third column is origin, fourth column is saint and the fifth column is variations of the name. What is a given name? Why girl and boy not women and men? Given names are assigned to babies, sometimes within hours of being born. These names or some part of them remain associated forever. A child named Maria Josefa Daria de Guadalupe Trinidad Tomasa Carrillo appears in the 1807 Saltillo, Coahuila baptism records. This girl's given name is Maria Josefa Daria Guadalupe Trinidad Tomasa but for this project I have taken the name apart into the following six given names; Maria, Josefa, Daria, Guadalupe, Trinidad and Tomasa. This method creates some name artifacts for example Dios (as in Juan de Dios) never appears alone as a given name. Two other similar examples are Ferrer from Vicente Ferrer and Neri from Felipe Neri. The Saltillo baby example would likely, as an adult, be found in the records as Josefa Carrillo. Babies named Juan Dios, Vicente Ferrer and Felipe Neri may be found sometimes as adults named Juan, Vicente and Felipe. This given name project uses baby names from baptism records as well as adult names (parents and grandparents) from those same records and names from marriage records. Okay, that is what I am calling a given name but how did I rank them? Ranking given names started by creating a report in my genealogy database (PAF). The report was a text file consisting of one database field [surname, given name] of all females in the database. The text file was manipulated so that it could be imported into a Microsoft Access database as eight fields (surname and seven given name fields). The contents of the seven given name fields were put into one field for counting and ranking. The process was repeated from the start to create a boy's name ranking. This was done with the goal of having a ranked list of 500 most common female given names and 500 most common male given names. Here is a quick question for you. What do you think are the top ten most popular given names in the list? The top ten girls given names in descending order are Maria, Juana, Josefa, Francisca, Antonia, Gertrudis, Jesus, Guadalupe, Ana and Petra. The top ten boys given names in descending order are Jose, Juan, Antonio, Joseph, Francisco, Jesus, Maria, Pedro, Manuel and Ignacio. The names Maria and Jesus appear in both lists. Girls are named Maria Jesus and boys Jesus Maria. These are Christian names. Did you expect most or all of the list to have a Christian origin? When I first started learning about my family history I would encounter ancestor names that were unfamiliar to me. Given names like Eduviges, Nepomuceno and Eleuterio bewildered me. My first thought was that they were Native American names. Go ahead and laugh. I know it sounds silly but consider that I was born and raised in a small community with very few Spanish speaking people. What did I know of Hispanic given names. Not much!

Girl's and Boy's Given Names from Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas

by [email protected] This booklet has a listing of the most commonly found girls and boys given names from my kindred group. Most of my ancestors and those of my kindred group come from the Mexican States of Coahuila, Nuevo Leon and Tamaulipas. These given names were gathered from my ever growing genealogy database that currently has over 332,000 records. I have been doing family history research for over twenty years. You see lots of given names in that time and with them come questions. Should you decide to skip this introduction let me explain the listings. There is first an alphabetically sorted table of 500 girls given names and another table of 500 boys given names. The name is followed by rank. The ranking is from 1, the most common given name, to 500 the least common given name. The third column is origin, fourth column is saint and the fifth column is variations of the name. What is a given name? Why girl and boy not women and men? Given names are assigned to babies, sometimes within hours of being born. These names or some part of them remain associated forever. A child named Maria Josefa Daria de Guadalupe Trinidad Tomasa Carrillo appears in the 1807 Saltillo, Coahuila baptism records. This girl's given name is Maria Josefa Daria Guadalupe Trinidad Tomasa but for this project I have taken the name apart into the following six given names; Maria, Josefa, Daria, Guadalupe, Trinidad and Tomasa. This method creates some name artifacts for example Dios (as in Juan de Dios) never appears alone as a given name. Two other similar examples are Ferrer from Vicente Ferrer and Neri from Felipe Neri. The Saltillo baby example would likely, as an adult, be found in the records as Josefa Carrillo. Babies named Juan Dios, Vicente Ferrer and Felipe Neri may be found sometimes as adults named Juan, Vicente and Felipe.

the Virgin Mary: Nuestra Senora de los Angeles, Nuestra Senora del Amparo, Nuestra Senora del Refugio, Nuestra Senora de Lourdes, Nuestra Senora de Loreto, Nuestra Senora de Zapopan, Nuestra Senora de las Nieves, Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe, Nuestra Senora de los Reyes, Nuestra Senora del Carmen, Nuestra Senora del Carmelo, Nuestra Senora de la Victoria, Nuestra Senora de las Mercedes, Nuestra Senora de la Merced, Nuestra Senora de Altagracia, Nuestra Senora de los Remedios, Nuestra Senora de la Piedad, Nuestra Senora del Pilar, Nuestra Senora del Rosario, Nuestra Senora del Socorro, Nuestra Senora de los Dolores, Nuestra Senora de la Soledad, Nuestra Senora de Santisima Trinidad, Nuestra Senora del Consuelo, Nuestra Senora de la Encarnacion, Nuestra Senora de la Ascencion, Nuestra Senora del Asuncion. Did I miss any? My name is Crispin Dario Rendon. I discovered in my thirties that Crispin is a saint's name. I had not known that I was born on San Crispin's day. I had a uncle Crispin and he in turn had an uncle Crispin. Neither of them were born on San Crispin Day. I am told that many children are named from the Catholic calendar. It was suggested to me by Sara Flores (SAGA) that the calendar day could be useful for family history researchers. I might include that in a future version of this booklet. I have tagged the saints Santa and San, San is masculine and Santa feminine. Most of the saint names information comes from, "Spanish and Mexican given names; a compendium of baptismal names; colloquial, diminutive, and familiar forms; pet names, nicknames; coined and corrupted forms," by Saul Pollock, PH.D. 1904 The main thing that compelled me to create this booklet was to deal with my confusion over spelling issues. Some years ago, I posted online a piece about the mtDNA of Ines Rodriguez. Others referred to her as Ynez Rodriguez. Here is a name made of four letters of which two do not match. How could these two people be the same person. That is one spelling example of many that I deal with. I have created hundreds of ancestor books and other family history books from my genealogy database. It may not occur to my readers that when I used the given name Joaquin I may have gotten the name from a record where the name was presented as Juachin. The names Feliz, Felix and Felis are equally interchangeable. I am not making a statement as to the right or wrong way to spell names. What I want to make clear is that the spelling found in old documents was not with the intent of uniquely identifying the child as having a name with a unique spelling. This is very important understand. You need to know that your ancestor may be known as Ventura in one record and Buenaventura in another or Pio in one record and Pioquinto in another. That is why I have included a variation column. All of the names in this report and my database appear in the English alphabet, without accents. This is done because it is easier and therefore allows me to be more productive. I hope this booklet allows you the reader to better understand the given names found in my genealogy records. Many thanks to George Farias of Borderlands Books who recommended the following book: Diccionario Etimologico Comparado de Nombres Propios de Persona, by Gutierre Tibon.
