Paraguayan full names in the Spanish two-surname form, such as Zunilda Rojas Zárate, Hilario Domínguez Garay and Dionisia Insaurralde Ayala, beside Guarani given names in use today like Yerutí, Panambí and Aramí. A small share comes from the Mennonite colonies of the Chaco.

About Paraguayan names

A Paraguayan full name follows the Spanish custom: one or two given names, then the father's first surname, then the mother's first surname. In Zunilda Rojas Zárate, Rojas comes from her father and Zárate from her mother. Both surnames go on documents, and in daily life she is Zunilda Rojas.

The surnames are Spanish, but the mix is Paraguay's own. González, Benítez, Martínez, Villalba, Cáceres, Ayala and Báez turn up everywhere. Giménez is usually written with a G here and Cardozo with a z, and names such as Insfrán, Centurión, Mereles, Ovelar, Yegros and the double surname Ruiz Díaz are far more common in Paraguay than in the countries around it.

Guarani is an official language beside Spanish, and some families choose a Guarani given name. The ones in this list are in use today: Yerutí (dove), Panambí (butterfly), Jasy, also spelled Yasy (moon), Mainumby (hummingbird), Arandu (wisdom), Aramí and Anahí. They often come second after a Spanish name, as in María Itatí or Liz Aramí. A small share of the list comes from the German-speaking Mennonite colonies of the Chaco, with given names like Heinrich and Susanna and surnames such as Friesen, Klassen, Dueck and Penner.

How to choose Paraguayan names

  • Use both surnames on documents and in formal scenes, and only the first in daily life. Hilario Domínguez Garay is Hilario Domínguez to his friends.
  • Match the given name to the generation. Saints' calendar names such as Dionisia, Petrona, Eusebia and Casimiro suit grandparents, while Dahiana, Thiago, Fiorella and Enzo suit younger people.
  • A Guarani given name goes with any surname in the list. It can stand alone, as in Yerutí Núñez, or follow a Spanish name, as in Ana Yerutí Escurra Duré.
  • A married woman may add "de" and her husband's surname after her own, as in Norma Samaniego de Viveros. Many women keep their own two surnames unchanged.
  • Keep the Mennonite names together. Heinrich Penner and Susanna Dueck belong to the Chaco colonies around Filadelfia and Loma Plata, and they read oddly with a Guarani given name in front.

Frequently asked questions

How do Paraguayan surnames work?

A person usually carries two surnames, by custom the father's first surname followed by the mother's first surname. In Gustavo Giménez Rojas, Giménez comes from his father and Rojas from his mother. Entries with one surname, such as Noelia Giménez, show the short form people use day to day.

What are common surnames in Paraguay?

González, Benítez, Martínez, López, Giménez, Fernández, Ramírez and Villalba are among the most common. The list gives them more room than the rarer names and sets them beside surnames with a strong Paraguayan ring, as in Wilson Insfrán López, Eduardo Báez Yegros and Fidelina Paniagua Centurión.

Are the Guarani names in the list used by real families?

Yes. Aramí, Yerutí, Anahí, Jasy, Panambí, Mainumby, Itatí and Arandu are all given to children in Paraguay today. The intro gives a meaning only where the name is a plain Guarani word, such as panambi for butterfly, and the list has no made-up Guarani compounds or surnames.

Are these the names of real people?

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