santo

Most first names in Spanish-speaking countries are those of saints. A person's santo, (also known as onomástico in Latin America and onomástica in Spain) is the saint's day of the saint that they are named for. Children were once usually named for the saint whose day they were born on, but this is less common now.

The eñe is the trade mark of the Spanish alfabeto. Up until a few years ago the ‘ch’, — la che — (directly after the ‘c’) and the ‘ll’ — la elle — (after the ‘l’) were also part of the alphabet, as they are both independent sounds in their own right. This had to be changed, however, in order to internationalise the Spanish alphabet, i.e. bring it into line with other languages.
