Abstract

This article explores the cultural significance of anthroponyms (personal names) and toponyms (place names) in the Spanish-speaking world. Drawing on historical, linguistic, and sociocultural perspectives, it highlights how naming practices reflect the identity, history, and values of Spanish-speaking societies. The study pays special attention to the influence of religion, colonization, and linguistic heritage on the development of Spanish names.
