If you are looking to reflect your Christian faith and traditions in your baby’s name, Sanjuana could be a lovely choice. A girls name, Sanjuana is the feminine form of San Juan, the Spanish name for the revered Christian saint, John the Baptist. Considered a prophet of God by many Christian denominations, Saint John appears many times in the New Testament, where he is described as a preacher and close relative of Jesus. Saint John’s feast day, the 23rd of June, inspires many festivals and gatherings worldwide, including San Juan, a Spanish festival known for its bonfires and street parties. Your baby can also find evidence of their name in the capital city of Puerto Rico, also named San Juan! Whether your little one’s life journey leads them to world travel or to faith and spirituality, there are so many reasons to celebrate!
