The name Lupe is a boy's name of Spanish, Latin origin meaning "wolf".

A short form of the Spanish title of the Virgin Mary, Guadalupe, Lupe is both a spiritual name and an animal related choice. When considered alongside its long-form, it is associated with a convent in Spain and the appearance of Our Lady of Guadalupe to a Mexican man in the 16th-century. Taken as a stand-alone option, it derives from lupus, the Latin word for "wolf". 
 A unisex choice, though always slightly favored for girls in the US, it appeared in the US Top 1000 in the first half of the 20th-century. The name then fell out of fashion in the 60s, and a recent year saw it given to just 7 boys and 9 girls respectively. In comparison, 244 girls and 31 boys were called Guadalupe the same year.
