Why is it that people in regions of the New World with Spanish influence have names like Jose, Pablo, Javier, Pedro? What region of Spain did those names come from? Why don't we see New Worlders with names that come from Catalan, Basque, or Galician?

>Catalan, Basque, or Galician?
You do see them, but less. The most common thing is surnames, though. Ever thought where "Iñárritu" comes from?
>Where do they come from
From all the peninsula, it's just the way they evolved, but the most common variations are the analucian ones.
Also:
>regions
There was no such thing as "regions" back then, it was either the "Corona de Castilla" or the "Corona de Aragón".
>Jose, Pablo, Pedro
Josef, Paul, Peter
>Javier
Basque name
José = Joseph
Pablo = Paul
Pedro = Peter
These are all the Spanish versions of Bible names and the Spaniards brought Catholicism into the New World. Also, Castiliano Español was the dominant language of Spain in 1492 when the Reconquista was over and when Columbus sailed the ocean blue for Spain.
Javier = Xavier, is a Basque name, comes from the place name Etxaberri.

From all over, i think in México at least there where slightly more Andalucians but not by much
>>61289043
>What region of Spain did those names come from?
Castille and north west...
Why don't we see New Worlders with names that come from Catalan, Basque, and Galician?

Pues alguno debió llegar durante la guerra Civil española nada más, he conocido gente con algún abuelo español pero tienen nombres normales, de hecho para empezar que pinches nombres son regionales? En la universidad habia un catalán de intercambio y el verga se llamaba Juan
It was the Crown of Castile, not Spain as a whole, that conquered the New World. Even though other languages (Asturian, Basque or Galician) were spoken in the Crown of Castile, Spanish was the main language.
But you can still find many Basque or Galician surnames.

Los vascos tienen nombres muy raros. Algunos femeninos traducidos literalmente de nombres de vírgenes en castellano:
Nekane = Dolores
Edurne = Nieves
Otros directamente significan cosas del campo:
Haritz = Roble
Ibai = Río
Incluso había uno que se llamaba "Estiércol" (Simaur).
De todas formas esto es una moda que viene de los años 70. Anteriormente los vascos tenían nombres normales, véase Juan Sebastián ]de Elcano], Miguel [López de Legazpi], Blas [de Lezo y Olavarrieta]...

>Pues alguno debió llegar durante la guerra Civil española nada más,
muchos, en mexico estaba el gobierno de la república en la clandestinidad, también mexico fue el primero en ayudar.
>de hecho para empezar que pinches nombres son regionales?
Catalunya > Jordi,Joan,Carles,Jonnathan
Castilla > Pablo,Fernando,Jose,Pedro etc
Pais Vasco > Adria.Gari,Ainhoa etcetc
Valencia = Catalunya
Why were there never any catalan speaking colonies or communities within the Spanish new world?
Why did the natives change their last names? How did they get that cucked?
>>61289043
Spanish - José
Galician - Xosé
Catalan - Josep
So no, regional names are rare in Latin America except for the basque ones that exist in other spanish regions like Iñaki that's basque.

castillian opresion of the catalonian people
>>61290540
Only Castilla colonized America.
>>61290540
Aragon didn't have the prerrogative to colonise the Americas, that was reserved to Castile whose main language was Spanish. Then again many Catalan missionaries established settlements in California and elsewhere in Spanish America.
>>61290333
Jonnathan? eh...? what?
If you want to know other Catalan names (Amongst which Jonnathan IS NOT):
Oriol, Otger, Roger, Pol, Pau, Marc.
>>61290332
Y anteriormente habían tenido nombres que se han entrado al nomenclator español como "Sancho" o "Jimeno", y otros nombres raros que nos suenan raros porque no se perpetuaron, como "Vela" o "Aznar".
>>61289806
En Galicia nombres gallegos serían Sabela, Uxío, Henrique, Helena, Iria, Olalla, Xurxo (todos los que empiezan por J tienen X en gallego), Navia, Nuno, Brais, etc. No sé si alguno llegó por allá.

such as?
>>61290992
Maybe not Catalan in the strict sense, but from Catalan-speaking areas such as Junípero Serra, Rafael Ferrer, Juan de Palafox, etc.
>>61290540
Because only castillians(castillians,basques and extremeños) had the right to go there as it was the territory of the crown of castille, not aragon
