The paper focuses on Spanish Jacinto (and the female name Jacinta) in the 16th century. For this research, all the baptismal books housed in the parishes of Seville have been studied, particularly the baptismal registers of the Sagrario, the main parish of the city. The study shows that Jacinto, very rare in the 16th century, became frequent in the last five years as a simple name and as an element of double names (e.g. Juan Jacinto). The reason for this extraordinary spreading, in all social classes, seems to be the canonization of Hyacinth of Poland (April 1594). The role of the Sevillian Church must be important in this historic event.
