Gudalupe Origin and Meaning

The name Gudalupe is a girl's name.

Gudalupe appears to be a variant spelling of Guadalupe, a feminine name with Spanish origins. The traditional name Guadalupe refers to the Virgin Mary as Our Lady of Guadalupe, derived from a revered Mexican Catholic shrine. The name combines Arabic 'wadi' (river or valley) with Latin 'lupus' (wolf). This variant spelling may represent a regional pronunciation or personal adaptation. Guadalupe has been popular in Hispanic communities for generations, with this alternate spelling being much rarer. The name carries strong religious and cultural significance, particularly in Mexico and throughout Latin America. As a given name, it projects dignity, cultural heritage, and spiritual connection.
