Librada

Meaning & origin

Librada is a Spanish feminine name meaning 'liberated,' originating as a devotional epithet for the Virgin Mary. It first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1898, reflecting early 20th-century immigration from Spanish-speaking countries. The name reached its peak in 1906, though it never entered the top 1,000 rankings. Since the 1900s, its usage has remained stable but extremely rare, with no resurgence in later decades. Librada has not been recorded in any U.S. state in notable numbers, highlighting its status as an uncommon choice even within Spanish-naming traditions. The name carries strong Catholic cultural significance, linking it to the liberation theme in Marian devotion.

Librada is a Spanish feminine given name derived from the Spanish word 'librado' meaning 'freed' or 'liberated'.

The name has been in use in Spanish-speaking countries since at least the late 19th century, with its peak popularity occurring early in the 20th century.
