Reply to: Need to find the meanings of Malford & Soledad by Dee
Soledad is a Spanish name meaning "loneliness" or "solitude". It's often used as one of the many titles for the Virgin Mary--Nuestra SeƱora 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!
