Portugal Given Names[edit | edit source]
In Portugal, given names have been regulated since the creation of the Portuguese Republic, with couples allowed to choose only from a defined list of names. Because of this regulation, common given names have changed little over time.[1]
For a full list of allowable given names in modern Portugal, visit the Instituto dos Registros e do Notariado.
