Guadalupe

Guadalupe, or Guadeloupe (Spanish pronunciation: [ɡwaðaˈlupe]) was originally a Nahuatl word that, as the legend says, the Virgin Mary said to Juan Diego when he ask her who she was (see Our Lady of Guadalupe).^{[citation needed]} This Aztec word was originally Coatlaxopeuh, which means "The one (female) that defeat the snake" (in reference to the serpent-Devil in the book of Genesis) which was very difficult to pronounce to the Spaniards and instead re-worded as Guadalupe.^{[citation needed]} This name has became very common, so the name Guadalupe may also refer to:
