Lourdes is the French version of the Basque lorde , which means steep slope or on a large slope . This is possibly the reason why a French city was named after Lourdes, which is located in the foothills of the Pyrenees, which are areas with gradual elevations. This place became popular when on February 11, 1858, a 14-year-old girl named Bernadette witnessed seeing the Virgin Mary. This is how the Virgin of Lourdes originated, which is the manifestation of Mary in this French town. From there Lourdes became a woman’s name quite popular among Catholic believers.
