Guadalup Origin and Meaning

Guadalup is a feminine name that represents a variation of Guadalupe, which has Spanish origins. The name is derived from the Arabic phrase 'Wadi al-Lub,' meaning 'hidden river,' and is strongly associated with the Virgin Mary, specifically Our Lady of Guadalupe, a revered Catholic figure in Mexico. While the traditional spelling Guadalupe is more common, Guadalup offers a subtle variation that maintains the cultural connection while providing a unique twist.
