Portuguese names for girls are frequently mistaken for Spanish or Italian names, with similar choices popular in all the Latinate countries of Europe and South America: from the classic Maria and Sofia to newcomers Jacinda and Mara. Portuguese forms of internationally well-known girls' names include some that could be from many countries — Rosa and Teresa, for instance — and some with distinctly Portuguese forms or spellings, such as Susana or Paoletta. Intriguing Portuguese options for baby girls include Mafalda, a witchy name used in Harry Potter, and Luzia.
