Guatemalan Name Generator
Spanish and Maya full names from Guatemala
Guatemalan full names with two surnames in the local order, from ladino names like Byron Monterroso Pineda to K'iche', Kaqchikel and Q'eqchi' families such as Juana Batz Ajpacajá and Santiago Caal Choc.
About Guatemalan names
A Guatemalan full name follows the Spanish pattern: one or two given names, then the father's first surname, then the mother's. What makes the mix Guatemalan is the country itself. A large share of the population is Maya and speaks one of more than twenty Mayan languages, so surnames such as Tzul, Batz, Caal, Chavajay and Cumes stand on the same school lists as López, Morales and Mazariegos.
Given names tell their own story. Older and rural families keep saints' names like Pascual, Petrona, Catarina and Baltazar. City families have loved English imports such as Byron, Marvin, Mynor, Wendy and Heidy since the late twentieth century, often with Estuardo as a second name, and evangelical households reach for the Old Testament with Abner, Gerson, Josué and Eliseo. In the Q'anjob'al and Chuj towns of northern Huehuetenango the surnames are themselves given names, which produces full names like Pascual Mateo Francisco.
The 500 names here come in eight groups: single and double given names with Spanish surnames, K'iche', Kaqchikel, Verapaz and western highland families, the Huehuetenango pattern, and the ladino east with Petén and the Garifuna coast. Every entry is a new combination of given names and surnames, not the name of a particular person.
How to choose Guatemalan names
- Keep the order: given names, then the father's surname, then the mother's. In daily life most people go by the first given name and the first surname, so Edgar Gramajo Mazariegos is Edgar Gramajo at work.
- Match the surname to the region. Tzul and Batz belong to the K'iche' highlands around Totonicapán, Caal and Choc to Alta Verapaz, Chavajay to the towns on Lake Atitlán, and Cayetano and Norales to the Garifuna town of Livingston.
- Write Maya surnames the way families write them, in Spanish spelling with accents, as in Cotí, Quemé and Tecú. The apostrophes belong to the language names, K'iche' and Q'eqchi', not to the surnames.
- A married woman may add de and her husband's surname after her own first surname, as in Glenda Mérida de Cifuentes. It is a custom and not a rule, and many women never use it.
- For a character, pick the given name by generation. Petrona, Pascuala and Macario suit grandparents, Aura Marina and Hugo Leonel their children, and Kimberly Dayana or Brayan Josué the grandchildren.
Frequently asked questions
How do Guatemalan surnames work?
A person carries two surnames, the father's first surname followed by the mother's first surname. In Marvin López Morales, López comes from the father and Morales from the mother. Official documents use both, while everyday speech usually keeps only the first.
What are common Maya surnames in Guatemala?
They differ by language area. K'iche' families carry names like Tzul, Batz, Coyoy and Xicará, Kaqchikel families Cumes, Otzoy and Sipac, Q'eqchi' families Caal, Choc and Pop, and Tz'utujil families Chavajay, Sosof and Reanda. Many families pair one Maya surname with a Spanish one, as in Wilmer Tzul Velásquez.
Why do some Guatemalan surnames look like first names?
In the Q'anjob'al, Chuj and Akateko towns of northern Huehuetenango, Spanish given names became family names generations ago. That is why the list has entries like Eulalia Pedro Mateo and Lucas Pedro Juan, where only the first word is the given name. The same habit turns up in other highland towns with surnames such as Vicente, Raymundo and Damián.
Are these the names of real people?
No entry is meant to name a particular person. The given names and surnames are ones Guatemalans carry, the list was drafted by combining them, and we tried to leave out the full names of well-known public figures. With common surnames a combination can still match a private person by chance, so treat any match as a coincidence.
