About Gibraltarian names

Gibraltar is a British Overseas Territory of about 34,000 people at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula, and its names look like those of neither neighbor. From the 18th century on, the town was settled by people from around the Mediterranean, and their family names stayed. A typical Gibraltarian name joins an English or Spanish given name to a surname that is neither, as in Gilbert Parody or Elena Picardo.

The largest group of surnames on this list is Genoese: Bossano, Isola, Montegriffo, Canepa, Stagnetto, Gaggero, Sciacaluga and Sanguinetti among them. Caruana, Xiberras, Zammit and Azopardi (Azzopardi in Malta) came from Malta. Benady, Serfaty, Wahnon, Benyunes and Abecasis are names of Sephardic families, many of whom arrived from Morocco. Feetham, Gingell and Mackintosh came from Britain, and Orfila and Pons are Menorcan names.

Most Gibraltarians speak both English and Spanish, so one person can be Joseph on paper and Pepe at home. The list keeps both habits, with pet forms such as Pepe Massetti and Lola Devincenzi. About a fifth of the entries are surnames alone. The list was drafted by pairing given names and surnames in use on the Rock, so an entry is a plausible name and does not describe a particular person.

How to choose Gibraltarian names

  • Pair across languages on purpose. An English given name with a Genoese surname (Keith Restano) and a Spanish given name with a British surname (Francisco Holliday) are both ordinary in Gibraltar.
  • Let the surname carry the family's origin: Sciacaluga or Stagnetto for Genoa, Xiberras or Buhagiar for Malta, Benzimra or Abudarham for a Sephardic family.
  • Use a hyphenated double surname such as Olivero-Vinet or Wahnon-Gabay for a character who keeps both family names.
  • Keep the pet form for dialogue and the formal name for documents. Pepe, Paco, Manolo, Lola and Charo all appear on the list beside the English forms.
  • Gibraltar is small and many of these surnames belong to a few families. Search a full name before you publish it, and change the given name if it matches a real person.

Frequently asked questions

What are typical Gibraltarian surnames?

Many of the most recognizable ones are Genoese, such as Parody, Chipolina, Bossano, Montegriffo and Sciacaluga. Maltese names such as Caruana and Xiberras, Sephardic names such as Benady and Serfaty, and British names such as Feetham and Gingell stand beside them. Spanish and Portuguese surnames are found too, but this list leaves the most common Spanish ones to the Spanish pages.

Are Gibraltarian first names English or Spanish?

Both. English is the official language and most people also speak Spanish, so the list has English names such as Kathleen Azopardi and Spanish names such as Carlos Risso. Many people answer to a Spanish pet form of an English name, which is why Pepe, Paco and Lola appear as well.

Are these the names of real people?

No particular person is meant. The list was drafted by recombining given names and surnames in use in Gibraltar, and pairings that would spell the name of a known public figure were left out where they were noticed. In a community this small a coincidence is still possible, so search a name before you use it in print.

How is this list different from the Maltese and Spanish ones?

It shares a handful of surnames with the Maltese page, such as Caruana and Zammit, and a few given names with the Spanish one. The core of the list is what neither of them has: Genoese and Sephardic surnames joined to English and Spanish given names, as in Ernest Stagnetto or Estrella Garson.
