Name Meaning
Some characteristic forenames: Spanish Jose, Luis, Miguel, Carlos, Juan, Angel, Rafael, Francisco, Jesus, Luz, Manuel, Ramon.
Spanish: from a short form of the Marian title and name María de las Nieves ‘Mary of the Snows’, given particularly to children born on 5 August, on which date the Virgin allegedly once caused it to snow in Rome. The surname may also be a reference to a local church dedicated to the Virgin Mary bearing this title.
Spanish: possibly also a nickname from the plural of nieve ‘snow’, for someone with snow-white hair.
