H. Ayuntamiento

Question

It's often on the official stamp of documents which I translate.

I believe the "H" stands for "Honorable", but I'm not certain, and I cannot find it anywhere. Can someone correct or verify for me? Thank you. [e-mail]

Answer 1

I would say so. The word "Honorable" is usually used that way.
You can also find it in:
"Honorable Cámara de Diputados"
"Honorable Cámara de Senadores"
"Honorable Consejo Deliberante"
And similar political names.

Answer 2

Thanks, Motley - that about cinches it for me. I'm making a NOTE this time. Best regards, Fannie

Answer 6

The abbreviation "H." is generally used as "hermano" (and "Hnos." para "hermanos"), which is the usual one you find in all list of standard abbreviations. Can you write the whole sentence, so we can make a better guess
