My father’s name was also António, I was given this name because it was very comun in Portugal for the sons to have the name of the father.

There are indications that this name appeared in ancient Rome and, initially, it was used as a surname. But the origin is considered by many authors as unknown.

In Portugal, nowdays it is not used much, however the name António has been present in human history for many and many years. The name António was also very used in Portugal in the ancient times because of the influence of St. António of Lisbon.

My last name is Girão Albuquerque - the family's name. Normaly people know me for Girão, because it is a short name, very easy to pronouce and finaly not very comum.

Within my family I am called Ana but outside the family environment (friends, at work…) I am called Paula. I have always remembered this difference however I cannot explain it.
The name Ana comes from the Hebrew word (Hannãh or Chanah) which means “grace” or favor. The ancient Romans also used Hannah as a name meaning "year cycle".
The name Paula is of Latin origin and is the female form of the male name Paul. Paula means "humble" or "small".
After my marriage I adopted my husband’s surname Paulo so, my name changed to Ana Paula Paulo which many people find very funny.
Ana Paula Paulo

Manuela is my name.

It’s Manuel’s female form.

Manuel is a variant of Emanuel, whose origin is Hebrew. It means “God is with us,” which I find very special. My parents chose this name because it was my father’s name. He wanted his daughter to have his name.

When I was a baby, my little brother attributed me the affectionate nickname “Lela” as he couldn’t pronounce Manuela. Nowadays, my family still calls me Lela.
