There’s so much to learn from being one with nature, and Lupe is one of many names to help nurture those roots. Given to both boys and girls, Lupe is mainly thought to come from the Spanish name Guadalupe. When broken down to its Arabic origins, it earns its elemental meaning of “river” from the expression wadi. Lupe may also be related to the word lupus for “wolf” in Latin, which has inspired other variants like Lu and Lupita.
