About the name Guadalupe
Guadalupe is a unisex name of Spanish origin meaning "wolf valley". It is most commonly used in Catholic families and is especially popular in Mexico.
Guadalupe refers to Our Lady of Guadalupe, whose 1531 apparition at Tepeyac is the central Marian devotion of Mexico and much of Latin America; the shrine remains one of the most visited Catholic sites in the world. The name is used for both girls and boys in Mexico, often as a middle name, and Lupita is the affectionate everyday form.
Popularity trend: Guadalupe is used less often now than it was a generation ago, which can make it feel fresh again.
