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.
Lupe does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Lupe reduce to 9, The Giver. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
