As far as I know, Espagnol is the French name of Spanish Langauge, while the nom is the French name of Name, so Espagnom means Spanish Name.
It seams that the ESpagnom is coined by a French speaking person.

When I searched in google, I could get a bunch of "Espagnom"s, but it was something in book.

I deeply believe that, you have misspelled, it should be "Espagnol", which is a phonetic transliteration of the Spanish nomination of its own language "Español", whose "ñ" pronounces the same with Chinese N in Niao 鸟, so the French language spells it in to "gn".

And if I had a good memory, I should have seen some other apellations in Latinoamerica, such as "ëspañol", there is an ë, but I'm not sure now if it's true.

Thank you very much.

"Espagnom" doesn't mean "Spanish name" in French. We absolutely do not make new composed words as in German.

So it is either a mispelling for "espagnol", which means, as Pluiepoco said, "Spanish" in French ( and anyway, whatever language is this, the meaning does seem to be liked to Spain ) or another language.


And by the way : there's no "ë" in Spanish, wherever you are. So the right spelling is : español.

The written accents in Spanish are á, é, í, ó, ú, and also ü in a few words (pingüino, agüita, etc). Besides, there two symbols that are not present in almost al languages: the question mark at the beginning ¿, and the initial exclamation sign : ¡.

If you have some problems with these accents, try to write them by pressing Alt, and then (with the key pressed) dial the numbers on the right part of the keyboard:

Alt+160 = á
Alt+130 = é
Alt+161 = í
Alt+162 = ó
Alt+163 = ú
Alt+164 = ñ
Alt+165 = Ñ
Alt+168 = ¿
Alt+173 = ¡

At least, that writing system work for me when I write from a non spanish keyboard...
