Here is a list of Spanish names that start with H. The page includes Spanish names for boys and girls from different eras, as well as last names.
The list is divided into several sections. Most modern and traditional names and surnames are drawn from the official statistics of Spain’s National Institute of Statistics. Modern names are those popular today, while traditional names were popular throughout the 1900s. Some names appear in both eras.
All of the names also appear in my Random Spanish Name Generator.

As the modern names come from official statistics, not all of them are “ethnically” Spanish. However, I decided to keep the statistics as they are instead of filtering out names with different backgrounds.

Spanish names beginning with H have become less common mainly because many traditional examples sound old-fashioned today and are strongly tied to saints, classical Latin forms, or earlier naming fashions. In modern Spain, parents tend to prefer shorter, trendier, and more internationally familiar names Some newer H-names come from immigration (Arabic or Basque origins) rather than traditional Spanish usage. At the same time, many historical H-names have disappeared from everyday naming.
