 * Poncio** is the Spanish equivalent of **Pontius**. Considering the wealth of biblical allusion in __Chronicle of a Death Foretold__, it is very likely that this refers to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor who presided over Jesus Christ’s trial, and then ordered his crucifixion before //handing him over// to the Romans. Likewise, Poncio Vicario //handed over// Angela to Bayardo, which ultimately set off the chain of events that would result in Santiago Nasar’s death. Additionally, “Pontius” is derived from the Greek word for “sea”.

 * Vicario** is the Spanish word for vicar, or a kind of priest. Literally, the word //vicar// describes one who is authorized to act in the role of another, as a kind of deputy or substitute. As it applies to the novel, the name is possibly a reference to the possibility that, because of the actions of the various Vicario family members, Santiago Nasar had to bear a punishment, as a //vicarious// substitute, for a deed he did not likely commit.
