Meaning & origin
Conchita entered U.S. records in 1911 and reached its peak in 1931, when it was most commonly given. Since then, its use has declined significantly, and it does not appear in current top 1000 rankings for 2025. The name is almost exclusively used for girls. Despite its drop in popularity, Conchita remains culturally significant in Spanish-speaking communities, often tied to religious devotion through its origin as a diminutive of Concepción. The name's trajectory is stable, with sporadic revivals, but it has never returned to early 20th-century levels. No top states are recorded in recent data, suggesting a widespread but low-frequency use. Conchita is a classic Spanish name that carries a sense of tradition and cultural heritage.
Conchita is a Spanish diminutive of Concepción, derived from the Latin conceptio, meaning 'conception'. The name traditionally refers to the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, a central doctrine in Catholicism. It was especially popular in Spanish-speaking countries and communities, and in the United States it peaked in the 1930s before declining in use.
