Guadalupe

Awoooo, this is a howling good name! Guadalupe is a gender-neutral moniker of Mexican and Spanish origin. Originally designated to the Guadalupe River in Spain, this toponym has now crossed not only rivers but oceans, in its journey to become a popular baby name. Meaning “wolf valley,” or “river of the wolf,” Guadalupe actually stems from the native Nahuatl language, but it is actually more known for its connections to the Virgin Mary. This fierce name is sure to help baby stand out and stand up for themselves, allowing them to draw strength from its storied and important history. Notable namesakes include the first president of Mexico, Guadalupe Victoria, and Golden Hollywood star María Guadalupe Villalobos Vélez, known as Lupe Vélez.
