Source: Government of Catalonia (2020) 2. Autonomy and State Structure. Catalonia's institution of self-government is the Generalitat, which is embedded within the Spanish territorial model as an autonomous community (AC).This territorial model is not formally designated in the Spanish Constitution (SC) of 1978 but it is informally called the Estado de las Autonomías (State of Autonomies). The name 'Catalonia' in English has been in use for centuries (e.g. this reference, from the court of Elizabeth I, in 1566). We also say 'Spain' for 'España', 'Germany' for 'Deutschland' and 'Sweden' for 'Sverige'. The suffix -ia is very common in English names for countries - Latvia, Romania, etc. Popular traditional Catalan names include Lucia, Jordi, Marta, Carla, Joan, Anna, Marc, Maria, Marc, Pol, and Nil. Catalan names offer rich meanings, like Alba, which means 'white,' and Estel, which signifies 'star.'. Celebrities such as Jacinda Barrett and Jordi Alba are notable bearers of Catalan names.
