Appendix:Spanish diminutives of given names

This is a list of hypocoristics for Spanish given names. Almost any Spanish name can have a hypocoristic formed by adding/changing the ending to '-ito' for male names and '-ita' for female names. This list tends to exclude these more obvious hypocoristics and focus on other kinds.

Note: In Spanish, double names or compounds (e.g., José María) can have their own hypocoristics distinct from those for the individual parts (e.g., Chema for José María, but Pepe for José, and Mari for María). Note: In Spanish, hypocoristics are not always diminutives; in some cases they are as long (e.g., Pepe for José), or longer than the original (e.g., Carmela or Camucha for Carmen).

Male names are marked with m, female names with f.
