Guardado is Spanish in Origin.

Guardado is a Spanish and Portuguese name derived from the past participle of guardar (“to guard, keep, save”), itself from a Germanic root ward- that entered Ibero-Romance via Late Latin and Frankish. The sense is “protected,” “kept safe,” or “preserved,” giving the name a protective, cherished aura.

Well established as a hereditary surname in Castile, Extremadura, and later across Mexico and Central America, Guardado has only recently seen sparse use as a given name, often to honor a family surname or to invoke the idea of divine safeguarding. Usage skews masculine but can be unisex. Variants and related forms include the grammatical feminine Guardada, the shortened Guarda, the pluralized surname Guardados, and the Italian cognate Guardato. Informal nicknames may be Dado or Guarda. As a first name, Guardado carries a modern, distinctive feel while remaining anchored in a transparent, positive meaning.
