#also my name is on here😌should not take yall long to figure out which one lmao

[minglana]

@motsimages asked me if i could explain some aragonese names, so here it is. all data is taken from the ine. the data might not be 100% accurate, since the ine only represents provinces with more than 5 people with that name, but it gives us an idea.

Acher-mountain in the val d’echo. currently there are 209 achers in aragon

Aimar-while this name in euskera is used for boys, in aragonese it is traditionally a girls’ name. there are 26 girls in aragon with this name.

Alodia-a saint of uncertain origin, it has a lot of veneration in the altoaragon. there are currently 90 alodias in aragon.

Anayet-mountain peak in the val de tena. there are 33 girls named anayet in uesca and zaragoza (from now on, zgz). also shoutout to the 8 anayets in navarra😌

Ánchel-and here we start with the translated names (with questionable orthography). equivalent of ángel. there are 48 ánchels in uesca and zgz. (for example, ánchel conte)

Bizén/Vicén-equivalent of vicente. there are 12 in aragon

Casbas-virgin of casbas. there is a romería celebrated in ayerbe for the virgin of casbas. theres also two towns named casbas (de biescas and de uesca)

Chabier-equivalent of javier. there are 42 in uesca and zgz

Chordi-there isnt data for this name, but i couldnt leave it out. patron saint of aragon, and equivalent of jorge. can also be jordi (in the more oriental parts of aragon)

Chuan-equivalent of juan

Cillas-virgin of cillas. evil spelling would be zillas. there is no data but i know of one person with this name so i guess it counts for something

Francho-català has cisco, spanish has paco, we have francho. equivalent of francisco, there are 105 franchos registered (including francho nagore and francho sarrablo), plus the ones named francisco that are called francho as diminutive.

Iguazel-another virgin, this one with veneration in castiello de jaca (chaca)

Ixeya-mountain peak in the vall de benás. there are 163 in uesca and zgz

Izarbe-one of the most common aragonese names (604 between the three provinces!!!). it is euskera in origin (apparently it means “under the stars”, with izar=stars and be=under (?)). there was an old medieval town with that name, and i believe a church too

Jara/Xara-of arabic origin, meaning “with a lot of vegetation”. this name is common all throughout spain, but the highest incidences are in the aragonese provinces (269 in uesca, 25 in teruel, and 315 in zgz, bringing in a total of 609 jaras)

Ibón-im ngl, we share this one with euskal herria <3. ibón means “glacial lake of the pyrenees” so yeah some ppl might think its weird to be named this, but apparently, theres men called ibón! there are 82 in aragón (compared to the over 3000 in euskadi😳)

Lizer/Licer-apparently its the equivalent of licerio (which i have never heard before). there are 150 lizers and 13 licers in aragon

Lorién-equivalent of lorenzo, san lorién is the patron saint of uesca. probably the most popular aragonese name for boys, there are 564 loriéns in aragon.

Malena-equivalent of magdalena, it is not a name only used in aragon, there are 208 girls with this name here

Orosia-patron saint of jaca, also is kind of an old person’s name. again, it is a name used in a lot of other spanish provinces, but the incidence is by far the highest in uesca, with 64 women with this name, and 11 in zgz

Pueyo-ngl this just means hill or peak (like puig in català). but there is also a virgen del pueyo so theres definitely women with this name

Salas-there is an ermita de salas in uesca (very very famous with uni ppl😌😩). there are 36 salas’ in aragon (all in uesca)

Zilia-can also be spelled cilia, but barely used. equivalent of cecilia. there are 25 zilias in aragon according to the ine, but according to hoyaragon there are 33
