I was going to post that Amparo was the name of the resurrected Inca Princess (mummy) on "Buffy: The Vampire Slayer," but I looked up the character and it turns out her name was Ampata, so never mind.
Anyway, Amparo is actually a really cool name, not one I see every day. (I am not Latina, but I live in an area with a large Latino population.) In fact, judging by the lack of comments on this page, I'm guessing Amparo isn't common among Spanish-speakers, either.
