Origin and History

  • · From Arabic wadi al-lupu, "river of wolves" or "hidden river", the name of a river and shrine in Extremadura, Spain, dedicated to Our Lady of Guadalupe.

Traits and personality

Under Pythagorean numerology, the initials G, P and Y map to the number 7: an introspective, analytical character, with a philosophical and spiritual bent. This is a numerology reading, not an exact science — character is shaped by life, not by a name.
