You’ll be hard-pressed to find a country that has more gracefully feminine names than Spain. Most girls’ given names here end with the letter A, a light and airy vowel in and of itself. Here we have some of our favorite Spanish girl names that start with the letter G, and many of which are Christian-inspired–unsurprising given that Catholicism has dominated Spain for the last several centuries.
One example of this Christian influence is the name Gabriela, which means “God is my strength.” It’s also pretty popular here in the U.S., too, as it’s been on the Top 100 Baby Names List since 2000. Gia is another Christian name that means “God’s gracious gift.” It’s also quite popular in Italy, and in the U.S. is usually short for the name Gianna.
Secular names like Gala and Gaspara are quite popular on the Iberian Peninsula as well. The former comes from Old French and means “festivity,” which makes sense given that the English language has it as a word with the same meaning. The latter, however, simply means “treasure,” and its male counterpart Jasper is actually quite popular in neighboring Portugal.
Grazia, on the other hand, seems to have a pretty obvious meaning of “grace” and “giving thanks.” Spanish speakers can probably guess this considering the Spanish word for “thank you” is “gracias!” This name is a lovely twist on its English cousin Grace, making it perfect for parents who want to give their baby girl a classic name with some Spanish flair.
Read on to learn more about the meanings behind some of our favorite Spanish girl names starting with G.
