Name Change
Any person born or registered in the Civil Registry of Ecuador may, upon reaching the age of majority, change his or her name only once or alter the order of his or her names.
There are numerous studies on names and their relationship with the personality of each human being. The name brings status, category and security.
The names we have changed the most include “Dolores”, “Segundo”, “Elvira”, among others, whose bearers have chosen names more in line with their aspirations and personality.
