Bolivian full names in the Spanish two-surname form, with Aymara and Quechua family names beside Spanish ones: Lourdes Mamani Apaza, Ricardo Saucedo Justiniano, Wara Coaquira Gutiérrez. The list covers the highlands, the valleys, Santa Cruz, Tarija and the lowland peoples.

About Bolivian names

A Bolivian full name follows the Spanish custom: one or two given names, then the father's first surname, then the mother's. What sets Bolivia apart is what those surnames are. Mamani and Quispe are among the most common family names in the country, and on the altiplano around La Paz, El Alto and Oruro a name such as Lourdes Mamani Apaza or Primitiva Quispe Choque is as ordinary as a Spanish one. Many of these surnames are Aymara words: Mamani is a hawk, Condori comes from the word for condor, Choque is gold and Colque is silver.

The rest of the country sounds different. The valleys of Cochabamba, Sucre and Potosí mix Quechua surnames like Taquichiri and Yapura with Spanish ones like Zurita, Veizaga and Terrazas. Santa Cruz and Beni have their own stock, with Justiniano, Saucedo, Antelo and Añez, and the lowland peoples carry names such as Tomichá, Charupá, Noza and Iyambae. Tarija adds Gareca, Tejerina and Vacaflor.

The list also has Aymara and Quechua given names that families use today, among them Wara (star), Nayra (eye), Inti (sun) and Kurmi (rainbow), and a small share of names from Bolivia's Croatian, Arab, German, Japanese and Mennonite communities.

How to choose Bolivian names

  • Keep a name in one region. Aymara surnames such as Mamani, Ticona and Callisaya fit La Paz, El Alto and Oruro. Justiniano, Saucedo and Antelo belong to Santa Cruz, and Gareca or Tejerina to Tarija.
  • Use both surnames on documents and in formal scenes, and only the first in daily life. Lourdes Mamani Apaza is Lourdes Mamani to her neighbors.
  • Match the given name to the generation. Saints' calendar names such as Primitiva, Eusebia and Policarpio suit grandparents, while Jhonny and Jhoselin, spelled with the Bolivian "Jh", and names such as Limbert and Rosmery suit people born from the 1980s on.
  • A married woman may add "de" and her husband's surname after her own, as in Martha Quispe de Condori, though many women keep their two surnames unchanged.
  • Read a name aloud before you settle on it. The stress in Tomichá, Charupá and Paticú falls on the last syllable, which is why the accent mark is written.

Frequently asked questions

How do Bolivian surnames work?

A person carries two surnames: the first is the father's first surname and the second is the mother's first surname. In Viviana Caba Rocha, Caba comes from her father and Rocha from her mother. She passes Caba, not Rocha, on to her children, who carry it as their second surname.

What are the most common surnames in Bolivia?

Mamani, Quispe, Flores, Condori and Choque are among the most common, together with Spanish names found all over Latin America such as Gutiérrez, Vargas, Rojas and Fernández. In this list they appear in names like Gregorio Choque Mamani, Agustín Condori Flores and Yolanda Quispe Yujra.

How are Bolivian names different from Peruvian names?

Both countries share the Spanish two-surname form and Andean surnames such as Quispe, Mamani and Huanca. Bolivian names lean more on Aymara, the language of the La Paz altiplano, and the eastern lowlands add surnames that are rare in Peru, such as Justiniano, Antelo and Añez. That is why this list gives the Aymara family names more room.

Are these the names of real people?

No. Each full name pairs given names with surnames that are in use in Bolivia. With common surnames a combination can match a living person by chance, so treat every name as an invention.
