Oops, it's "zutano". Sorry for the typo.

You can use the commalist environment:
\starttext
\startprocesscommalist[One,Two,Three,Four]
Person Number \currentcommalistitem\par
\stopprocesscommalist
\blank
\defineexpandable\NameList{One,Two,Three,Four}
\startprocesscommacommand[\NameList]
Person Number \currentcommalistitem\par
\stopprocesscommacommand
\stoptext
Another way is to use the database module:
\usemodule[database]
\starttext
\defineseparatedlist
[namelist]
[command=\NameEntry]
\starttexdefinition unexpanded NameEntry #1
Person Number #1\par
\stoptexdefinition
\startseparatedlist[namelist]
One
Two
Three
Four
\stopseparatedlist
\stoptext
Wolfgang

Oh, I knew about the environment form, but I didn't know about
\currentcommalistitem. Useful to avoid to define ad hoc commands :)
As always, thank you very much for the lesson.
Best regards,
Jairo

Thank you so much, Jairo and Wolfgang.
All your solutions work fine!
I had been looking for info on loops and some other ideas for a few days
already. I never thought about "lists". :-)
Cheers,
Ángel

Below is another version.
Using the \startsetups block to set the content for the loop/list makes
it easier to strucuture (format) the text. With \recursestring you can
print the value of the current loop entry.
The list of entries for the loop can be moved from the argument itself
to a macro. To make adding and removing (can be done by commenting
entries with %) you can use the \starttexdefinition environment with
each name on a separate line.
%%%% begin example
\starttext
\startsetups [NameEntry]
Person Number \recursestring\par
\stopsetups
\doloopoverlist{One,Two,Three,Four}{\directsetup{NameEntry}}
\blank
%\defineexpandable\NameList
% {One,
% Two,
% Three,
% Four}
\starttexdefinition NameList
One,
Two,
Three,
Four
\stoptexdefinition
\doloopoverlist{\NameList}{\directsetup{NameEntry}}
\stoptext
%%%% end example
Wolfgang

Very nice and easy to maintain the list of names.
Thank you so much!

You have to wikify all the answers ... here's another one:
\doloopovermatch {([^\letterpercent s,]+)} {aa, bb, cc, dd} {/#1/}
or more complex matching:
\doloopovermatch {(\letterpercent w+) *(\letterpercent w*)} {aa bb cc dd} {
[
\doloopovermatch{(\letterpercent w)(\letterpercent w)} {#1} {(##1 ##2)}
\doloopovermatch{(\letterpercent w)(\letterpercent w)} {#2} {(##1 ##2)}
]
}

Yes, exactly like this, thank you. Now, I have the names writen like:
Family Name, Name
So, is it possible to use a list separatd by something else than a
comma? A semicolon, for example? To test I've replaced those commas by
a colon and it works fine, but I'd rather have a comma, if possible.
Again, thank you so much!
Cheers,
Ángel

There's \processseparatedlist[<list>][<separator>]\command with an
arbitrary <separator> other than a comma...
You should take a look at syst-aux.mkiv and syst-aux.mkxl to see more
helpers:
