How do you say name in Spanish?

B6C2G7D4A9E5F1K3
I recently moved to Spain and have been trying to learn basic phrases to get by. I came across a phrase in English that I want to translate into Spanish, which is 'name in Spanish'. I've heard it before, but never really understood what it means or how to say it correctly. Has anyone else ever encountered this phrase? If so, can you please help me out and explain it to me? I'm trying to be polite when meeting new people and want to make sure I use the correct words. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

To say 'name' in Spanish, you can simply use 'nombre'. However, if you're looking for a more formal or title-based 'name', you might say 'apellidos' (surnames) followed by the person's surname. Alternatively, when introducing yourself to someone, you could say 'Me llamo' which means 'My name is'. This will allow you to state your full name in Spanish while being polite and friendly.

The translation of 'name' in Spanish is 'nombres'. If you're asking for how to say 'name' in a specific context, such as when introducing yourself, it's more common to simply say 'me llamo' (my name is) or 'soy' (I am) followed by your surname. For example: Me llamo Juan Pérez.

El nombre en español es 'nombre'. Para ser más específico, si te refieres al nombre propio (tu nombre personal), se utiliza simplemente 'mi nombre', mientras que el nombre común (el apodo o el nombre de una persona famosa) se expresa con 'su nombre'.

If you're looking to say 'name' in Spanish, a more common phrase is 'nombre'. However, if you want to be precise and say 'name in Spanish', a better option would be 'nombre en español'. You can also use 'su nombre' which literally means 'their name'. Another way to express it is 'cómo se llama', meaning 'what's your name'. If you're having trouble remembering these phrases, try repeating them out loud or practicing with a language exchange partner.

Your name en español es tu nombre. If you want to say 'name' specifically, a more common phrase would be 'nombre'.
