Lourditas is Spanish in Origin.
Lourditas is a Spanish diminutive of Lourdes, formed by the analogical -itas ending applied to names ending in -des (as in Merceditas). Lourdes itself refers to the Marian shrine in southwestern France associated with the 1858 apparitions of the Virgin Mary. As a given name, Lourditas conveys “little Lourdes” or “dear Lourdes,” expressing affectionate devotion to Our Lady of Lourdes rather than a lexical meaning from Spanish.
Usage spread across Catholic communities from the late nineteenth century, with particular currency in Spain, Latin America, and the Philippines, where -itas diminutives and the nickname Ditas are common. Variants and related forms include Lourdes (standard), Lurdes (Portuguese/Catalan), Lourdita/Lurdita, and Brazilian Portuguese Lurdinha. Common short forms are Lou, Lulu, Lour, and Ditas. The name carries a gentle, traditional tone with strong Marian resonance.
