About names in Spain
Spanish naming customs are closely tied to the Catholic calendar in many families, with a name sometimes chosen to align with a saint's feast day near the child's birth, and it remains common in Spain to celebrate a person's "saint's day" (onomástica) alongside or even instead of their birthday. It's also a long-standing Spanish custom for a person to carry two surnames, one from each parent, a practice that reflects how seriously Spanish naming tradition treats family lineage on both sides — though that particular custom applies to family names rather than the given names covered on this page. Regional identity also plays a role, with Basque, Catalan, and Galician naming traditions offering distinct alternatives to more widely used Spanish-language names within the same country.

Using a Spain 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.
