Deciphering a Spanish or Portuguese Name (1916)
« on: Tuesday 07 February 23 10:20 GMT (UK) »
I have two photos of unknown people. The one name is clearly Gilberto. Is anyone able to help with the other?




Edit - I guess it's just Annamaria. I thought the second letter was M.

In that case, is anyone able to decipher the first one in full. The last part looks like "de Jola" or "do Jola", which are Spanish and Portuguese surnames. So maybe it's a full name.

Thanks. It seems the first surname is probably Italian. There are a few things close to Cammina, but not that exactly. Caamaño could also be possible.

Gilberto is much more common in Italy, than in Spain.
