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). 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. This name has became very common, so the name Guadalupe may also refer to:
