The abbreviation used for Señorita in Honduras is Srta.

Each person usually has a given name followed by two family names, that of the father followed by that of the mother, for example:

   Barbara Betancourt Perez

Upon marriage, females may take their husband’s name as a further given name, in this way:

   Barbara Betancourt Perez de Lopez

where the de indicates “(wife) of”. De usually indicates a married female, but may also be part of a name.

Professional people are often referred to by their qualification, followed by the given name and paternal family name (and sometimes the maternal family name):

   Doctor (m) / Doctora (f) (Dr/Dra)              Doctor, Ph.D.

Honduras - Postal codes

   Note: This section last updated 18th April 2020

Although we are getting mixed messages about the postal code format in Honduras, evidence suggests that the country has reverted to a 5-digit code in the format 99999. The code consisting of

6 alphanumeric characters in the format AA9999 appears to have been abandoned, purportedly as the two characters, indicating the departamento, were being confused by the postal services with ISO 3166 country codes. In any case, postal codes are hardly used by the populace except where poorly designed e-commerce websites demand them.

With one exception, the first two digits of the 5-digit postal code indicate the departamento.

Postal codes currently fall within the ranges 111-16, 211-23, 311-34, 412-43 and 511-52.

   Metadata containing postal code formatting rules, exceptions and regular expressions can be acquired External
