Comments for GUADALUPE:
The Virgin of Guadalupe is also known as Our Lady of Guadalupe/Our Lady of the Americas. Coatlaxopeuh (pronounced quatlazupe) is the Nahuatl (Aztec language) spelling.-- buzzito 4/19/2005
The name is of Latin origin, not Arabic. "Gua" is a leftover of "aqua" - "water", "da" should be "de" and means "of" and "lupe" comes from "lupus", meaning "wolf".-- Paganqueen 7/16/2005
I HATE when ignorant people pronounce it "gwada-loop-ee"! It really grinds my gears!-- arabgoddess 5/19/2006
A very classic name in many parts of the world, but personally I think this name can also make life very difficult for the bearer.-- Anonymous User 6/14/2006
My name is Guadalupe. It is not unusual in my area of the country. It bothers me when people who have never heard this name ask me if I had a hard childhood with this name. I didn't have any more problems as a child than any other kids.-- Guadalupe78 7/17/2006
Guadalupe is the site where the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to Juan Diego. Therefore, the Virgin Mary is the Patron Saint of Mexico. She is referred to as "La Virgen de Guadalupe", meaning the Virgin of Mexico. To my knowledge, there is not a saint called Saint Guadalupe. [noted -ed]-- guada 9/29/2006
I like the meaning of this name but believe me, it's a really overused first and middle name in Mexico. In my class there was 4 girls named _____ Guadalupe and 3 girls named Guadalupe.-- michi_vane 12/7/2006
Guadalupe is the name of Jennifer Lopez's mother.-- Anonymous User 1/18/2008
I really like this name. Because I am a Catholic, and us Catholics believe in saints, I agreed with my grandmother to name my child Guadalupe, if I ever have one. The only thing I DON'T like about this name is that you'll be called Guada and it sounds like the Spanish word "aguada" lol!-- dolphingirl21 6/2/2008
There was Mexican president Guadalupe Victoria.-- BornOnRoshHashanah 7/19/2008
I would never use the nickname Guada, but Lupe, which is too sweet.-- LuzDeTuVida 8/16/2008
I've never understood the appeal of Guadalupe. It sounds horrible in my opinion. I respect that a person who believes in Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe would name their daughter this, but there are much more beautiful Marian names, like Luz, Soledad, Nieves, Rocío and Naiara. Though I have to say I like the nickname Lupe for Guadalupe.-- Ailis 7/3/2009
Actually, ignore my other comment. I've just heard the real, lovely Spanish pronunciation of Guadalupe, I now think it's an absolutely beautiful name. Very classy. (Before, I'd only heard an ugly, English mispronunciation.) I'd only use it as a feminine name, though. I adore this name's history and the Virgin Mary and Mexican associations. (I have this kind of obsession with Mexico. And Latin America in general.) The nicknames Lupe and Lupita are so sweet. But it's a pity Guadalupe is so overused in Mexico.-- Ailis 12/16/2009
You say that the name's origin is Arabic, which is only half true. The "Guada-" part is from the Arabic word "wadi," meaning "river," but the "-lupe" part is from the Latin word "lupus," meaning "wolf." So, although you got the meaning "river of the wolf" right, you missed one of the source languages. This means that the Spanish feminine name "Lupe" is related to the French masculine name "Loup" (which is what I was wondering when I looked up "Lupe") and also to the Spanish masculine name "Lope." All three names come from the Latin word "lupus."-- jim10701 1/27/2010
Ok first of all the name is NOT just MEXICAN it is ALSO central and possibly south American too!-- haha 3/14/2010
