Names from english to spanish

Question

What is the translation of Harvey in Spanish

Or what is the name Harvey in Spanish?

Answer 1

Names are not "translated" from one language to another. If you are in a class in school and your teacher wants you to have a Spanish name, you can choose one that sounds like yours. A Spanish speaker would say "Arbee" or something like that for Harvey but that is not a translation. Some names have equivalent Spanish names because they are names of Christian saints which all Christians would have in their language as an equivalent.

So Saint Michael is San Miguel, St. Martha is Santa Marta, St. William is San Guillermo. I hope this helps your understanding of this issue which comes up from time to time on this forum.

Answer 2

Not all names in English have a Spanish equivalent, and Harvey is one of those names.
