Means "aider, first-aider" in Spanish, from Latin auxiliator (compare the related name Auxilius). It is taken from the Spanish title of the Virgin Mary María Auxiliadora meaning "Mary, the Helper", referring to the protection and help that the Virgin Mary offers to Christians. A known bearer of this name is the retired Spanish female football player Auxiliadora Jiménez (1975-).
