The old name is now a family secret....hmmm
what a cool cool story. . . .so is "hmmm" an abbreviation for
the name as in:
HERMENEGILDO
m Spanish,
Portuguese [note: does this name also work in the feminine form?]
Spanish and Portuguese form of a Gothic name which meant "complete
sacrifice" from Germanic ermen "whole, entire" and gild
"sacrifice".
HERMINIA
f Spanish
Spanish feminine form of HERMINIUS
Roman name which was possibly of unknown Etruscan origin, but could
also be derived from the name of the god HERMES.
In Roman legend this was the name of a companion of Aeneas.
Names that are related to HERMINIA:
or maybe its:
HENRIQUA:
feminine form of Henrique (rules the home)
HERMOSA: beautiful
prima this last one fits. . .Helyn Hermosa, thanks for sharing that
story.
I have a cousin whose mother was supposed to be Adelaida but when it
came time to record the name they couldn't figure out how to spell it
and she was named Adela.

ps: and an old story that I just love to repeat when I have the
opportunity is about my two ggg grandfathers Jose Tadeo Diaz who were
twin brothers both with the same names (I wonder how come they did
that? I would love to know what their nick names were so they could
tell which was being called). Also later my great grandfather Julio
Puentes who was really christened: Jose Julio de Jesus Puente had two
sisters who were named the same (girls named Marcos probably Maria
Marcos) without one dieing as a child. I can understand naming another
sybling the same name if the first sibling died. Our families had their
reasons. Maybe like Irma said they were born at the same time of year
for the Marcos name.
