A name that means "dove; wolf".

Lupe is the affectionate Spanish short form of Guadalupe, the great Marian title of Mexico — Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas. It carries deep warmth and devotion. In Tongan, quite separately, lupe means a dove.

Friendly and unpretentious, it is beloved across the Spanish-speaking world as a name of faith and family.

Small, warm and full of meaning, Lupe is a name close to the heart.

Of Guadalupe — warm and devotional.
