Thanks Elvira!!! I knew they were
great names, now I'm a little more educated on what they mean.
Thanks!
I am temporarily back home, so here are
some of the names you were wondering about. I have some of them in my family
also. You'll notice that the spanish Priests never picked stupid,
insulting names, only uplifting ones and worthy of emulation.

Here is a list of names in MY family
tree:
NARCISO
= Greek. From
the Greek word "Narkiso", means " the wise one, "Aquel con
sabiduría". Was also the beautiful
young son of Cefiso and Liriope in Greek mythology, whom Nemesis,
the goddess of vengeance punished. It's
celebarated
on 29 October.
ZEREFINA
= (or Zeferina) (Serafina, Serefina Serafina, Seferina, Sarafina, Seferino,
Sepherina Zepherina, Zepherino) = The
ardent one. I think this comes as a translation from the
Italian
LEONISIO
= (Leonisia,
Lionel, Leonel, Lionela, Leonela, Leonilia, Leonila, Leonilio) =
Lion
TRANQUILINO
= (Tranquilina) The tranquil one
PLUTARCO = a Greek name
meaning a rich prince
ABUNDIO
= Abundancia, abundant, plentiful
BLAS(A)
= a stutterer (latin) Female+ Blasa commonly seen in Mexico as Maria
Blas.
DECIDERIO,
DESIDERIO(A) =
Latin. Loved by God.
GERMANA =
German, from Germany
ROMUALDA(O) = | Germán. Of
nordic origin, means "ruler with fame, famous
ruler?. | | |
ABATO
= Padre (abbot = father). From
the latín abbas.
TIRSO
= | Greek "Thirsos", means ?he who
commands?. Celebrated on 24 September. Tirso de Molina was a
famous
Spanish writer.
DIONICIO = Dionysos (M), Son of the God, = M: Denis (fra),
Dionisio (it), Dyonisius
(germ), Dennis, Denys, Dwight
(eng), Femenine: Denise, Denice,
Dionise, Dionysia (fra). -> M, Female: Sydney
(English contraction of St
Denis)
CASIMIRO = Means "to destroy peace", derived from the
Slavic element kazic "to destroy" combined with mir "peace"
(or
possibly the older element
mer "great"). Four kings of Poland have borne this name,
including Casimir III the
Great, who greatly strengthened the Polish state in the 14th
century. The name also belonged to Saint Casimir,
a 15th-century
Polish prince and a patron saint of Poland and Lithuania. also from
Kashmir
SABINA(O)
= | Latín. Means "she who is easy to converse with, to live
with ("Aquella que es muy agradable de
trato"). | |
| |
SINECIO = Sinesio: Greek name maning the intelligent
one, smart one
I think they're all awesome, strong
names, although I don't understand some of them. To me, they're all
unique and very very cool. I wish my mom had named me a typical
Mexican name.....I've never liked my name and got teased a lot. Peggy,
my name, sounds caucasian (nothing against caucasians, but I would have like
something more .....I don't know....ethnic.......)
Merry Christmas everyone!
You mentioned custom plates;
My father's name was Nemesio, how common is
that? not very! and my maternal granfather's name was
Priciliano. I am John Gonzalez, or if you prefer, Juan
Gonzalez. My custom license plate is: 1Gnzlz (One
Gonzalez) =sounds like Juan Gonzalez. There are four Juan Gonzalez
in my great grandfather's line, I am number five. (Boring.
Lack of imagination? or just trying to perpetuate the
name ?) None of my kids are named John.
John Gonzalez

you glad to not be named Reducindo or Reducinda? One of my
ancestors is named Narciso, another Prudencio, another Petronilo,
and
another Zenobio...what names!!!!

There is nothing wrong with these names. Our ancestors apparently
felt these names were much better and different than the custom
plate names.
