About names in Mexico
Mexican naming customs carry strong Catholic influence, with many children named directly after saints or given names tied to specific religious feast days on the calendar, a tradition going back to Mexico's colonial-era Catholic heritage. It's also standard for a Mexican child to receive more than one given name — often a saint's name paired with a family name, or two names used together as a single unit — though this page focuses on the single name most commonly used day to day in conversation and at school. Mexican naming culture also blends indigenous Mesoamerican heritage with Spanish colonial influence in some families, particularly in regions with strong Indigenous populations, resulting in a naming landscape that draws on more than one distinct cultural tradition at once.

Using a Mexico missing-letter worksheet
Print at full size, hand a child a pencil, and let them fill in each row's blank at their own pace. Getting one row wrong doesn't affect the rest of the page, so it's fine to work through it out of order or come back to a harder row later.
