US Popularity Rank: 28349

Origin: Latin

Meaning: Consolation, comfort

It's never too close for comfort with your newest little addition, so consider the name Consuela. A feminine name with Latin roots, Consuela comes from the Spanish word for “consolation” or “comfort.” Derived from Consuelo, this moniker has theological connections; it is also the title of the Virgin Mary, Nuestra Señora del Consuelo. An apt choice for those who are looking to foster a sense of faith in their little cherub, Consuela will see baby through thick and thin. You might recognize this name from shows like Family Guy, Law & Order, or Friends—when Phoebe changed her name briefly to Princess Consuela Banana-Hammock!
