Place names are an enduring trend, with Santiago among the most popular names in Spain for boys, and Africa, India, Aitana, Triana, Leire, and Ainhoa —the latter four Basque place names — making the list for girls. Similarly, Cayetana, meaning a person from the Italian town of Gaeta, is also in the Spanish Top 100 for girls.
