The middle ages or medieval period in European history spanned roughly from the fifth to the late 15th century, paralleling the post-classical period in global history.

Old Spanish, known as Old Castilian as well as Medieval Spanish, was a pronunciation of Vulgar Latin being used in the erstwhile prefectures of the Roman Empire.

This acts as a foundation for the early form of the Spanish language, which was spoken on the Iberian Peninsula mostly from the 10th-century until pretty much the beginning of the 15th century.

This period was well before consonantal reorganization gave credence to the development of contemporary Spanish. Your search for examples of medieval given name ends here.
