The Spanish Inquisition ran from1478 to 1834, in all that time, perhaps two people died a year from the Inquisition, most of them in the early years. Less than two percent were actually even tortured, and that for less than fifteen minutes. The actual historical records, the Church was meticulous in her record keeping, and everything, including the names of the victims was written down, all of these records are just now being released, you may view the story about them and the Inquisition at the links below. I don't believe that a list has been made public yet.
.
AnswerThe actual number of deaths in the Spanish Inquisition is open to question, with some estimates going as high as over 5000 during its four centuries of existence. Clearly the very threat of torture and execution would have resulted in the majority of victims renouncing their non-Catholic views.
With so many executions ordered by the Spanish Inquisition, it would be impossible ever to find or list all the names. Wikipedia provides an informative chapter on the estimated death toll, at the related link.

They didn't have a choice either you were the religion that they wanted you t be or you were held as prisoner ,executed ,or tortured till you died. the Spanish inquisition was started by king Ferdinand and queen Isabella they wanted to make sure that no other religion was being practiced besides Christianity. if you were accused of heresy (the practice of another religion) you were sentenced to die. more than two thirds of the population was killed during either the Spanish inquisition or the Portuguese inquisitions.

How did the spanish inquisition affect the jews?
The goal of the Inquisition was to enforce Catholicism in Spain and in Spanish territories. Torture was considered legitimate by the inquisitors. As under the Soviets, everyone was afraid of informers. Many thousands were tortured and killed. As part of the Christianizing of Spain, Jews who openly remained Jewish were expelled from the country. Many died in the process, and everyone else was uprooted.

How many people were executed by the Inquisition?
Roman Catholic Answer: Few Jews died during the Spanish Inquisition. As a matter of fact, despite the overheated hype developed by anti-Catholics during the last several centuries, very few people died during the Inquisition. As for Jews, the Inquisition only had authority over professed Catholics. In Spain, at that time, there were not a few Jews who "converted" to the Catholic Church for one reason or another. St. Teresa of Avila came from a family of Jews who had converted. Those who used their conversion for purely political reasons, and were not sincere Catholics came under investigation by the Inquisition, but, even then, very few were turned over to the State - only the State had the authority to execute anyone, and anyone turned over to the state for treason was always accompanied by a plea for mercy.
