Lupita is Spanish in Origin.

A Spanish affectionate form of Guadalupe, Lupita comes from the place name and Marian title linked to the Extremadura monastery and, most famously, to Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico. The toponym Guadalupe likely blends Arabic wadi “river/valley” with Latin lupus “wolf,” often glossed as “valley/river of the wolf,” though some scholars propose “hidden” or “heart” river.

Used as an independent given name in Spanish-speaking countries, especially Mexico, Lupita spread through devotion after the 16th-century apparitions and later gained global visibility via culture and film. Variants and related forms include Guadalupe (formal), Lupe (unisex short form), and Lupi or Pita as nicknames; Portuguese also uses Guadalupe, though Lupita is rarer. The name carries warm, diminutive charm while anchored in deep religious and geographic heritage.
