Soledad is a Spanish name meaning "loneliness" or "solitude". It's often used as one of the many titles for the Virgin Mary--Nuestra Señora de Soledad, or, Our Lady of Loneliness--in reference to her grieving during the period between Good Friday (when Jesus was crucified) and Easter Sunday (the Resurrection).Malford, unfortunately, I know nothing about, but someone else here probably does:)!HTH!

Malford: possibly from french "mal" (bad) + Ford = Edsel?
