Origin, Meaning, And History Of Soledad
Soledad is a cute name for little girls, with its predominant usage in Spanish cultures. It is derived from the Spanish language and implies ‘solitude.’ It is interesting to note that Soledad is inspired by and taken from the title of the Virgin Mary, María de Soledad, implying ‘Mary of Solitude’ or ‘Our Lady of Solitude.’
Alternatively, Soledad is also a toponymic name for individuals who belong to the area of (La) Soledad in northern Spain. It is a unique name with rich Christian significance that English-speaking people phonetically spell as either so-leh-DHADH or s(o)-le-dad.
When one turns the rusty pages of history from centuries ago, one may not find many mentions of Soledad except for the Virgin Mary. However, it is interesting to note that several places in Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Panama, the Philippines, and California in the United States have been named Soledad.
In the space of the fictional world revolving around music, film, and television, Soledad as a name is popular, but not for characters. For instance, Astor Piazzolla’s musical piece, a song from El viaje de Copperpot by La Oreja de Van Gogh, a Spanish version of the song ‘La solitudine’ by Laura Pausini, and songs by Mano Negra released in 1989 and by Don Omar from the 2015 album The Last Don 2 bear the name Soledad.
Similarly, a 1980 Mexican soap opera and a Peruvian soap opera starring Coraima Torres and Guillermo Pérez have been named Soledad. Furthermore, a 2007 Jaime Rosales Spanish film and a 2016 Venezuelan film by Jorge Thielen Armand have been given the name La Soledad or Soledad.
