Guadalupe

The name Guadalupe is of Spanish origin, derived from the Arabic phrase 'Wadi al-Luben', which translates to 'valley of the wolves'. It is a name associated with the Virgin Mary, specifically the Our Lady of Guadalupe, who is believed to have appeared to Juan Diego, an Indigenous Mexican man, in 1531.

The name gained widespread popularity in Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries, and is often given in honor of the Virgin of Guadalupe, the patron saint of Mexico.

In Mexico, the name Guadalupe is deeply rooted in religious and cultural traditions, and is considered a symbol of faith, hope, and devotion to the Virgin Mary.

Over time, the name has been adopted in various cultures and has evolved with different spellings and pronunciations, but its connection to the Virgin of Guadalupe and its Spanish-Arabic origins remain a significant part of its history and meaning.
