Spain

Meaning

As a given name, Spain is essentially a transferred place-name, taking its meaning from the country itself rather than from a traditional personal-name root. In older naming books, it appears as one of the geographic names that could be used as a second name, with no special etymology attached beyond the country-name sense.

Origin

Fun fact

19th-century name books mention Spain as a second name for either boys or girls, often with a devotional or commemorative flavor.
