Help[Facts] Re: wot does my name and my m8s names mean in spanish?
in reply to a message by Jade
Maybe you mean to ask: What are Spanish variants of the names you give, if there are any?
Jade: I could not find it used as a given name in Spanish, but anyway, the word for jade, the stone, in Spanish is 'jade' as well.
Jen, Jennifer: According to BtN, this could be Genoveva in Spanish, if you see Genevieve as a form of Guinevere, the "precursor" of Jennifer, and not as a separate name - click the links to see the information about these names.
Jess, Jessica: Well, Shakespeare seems to have invented that one, so probably no time yet for the Spanish to develop a separate form. If you look at Iscah, the Hebrew name that maybe was the base for this invention: This name is given in the Spanish bible as Isca.
Christina: That's easy, that would be Cristina.
Sarah: Zarah and Zara are Spanish variants of this name, together with the Spanish pet form Sarita.

Thanks for the correction, you are right about Zara.
Germans seem to take Zarah as a form of Sarah, but not the people in in Spain, as you said.
