- In Spanish literature, the term byroniano describes a specific type of melancholic and rebellious male archetype, often characterized by a dark past and a brooding nature.
- Historically, Spanish writers sometimes changed the spelling of Byron to a phonetic version to help readers pronounce the foreign name correctly.
