Meaning & History
Imaculada is the Portuguese cognate of the Spanish name Inmaculada, which directly means “immaculate” in Spanish. This name is given in honor of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary, a Catholic dogma which holds that Mary was conceived free from original sin. The name thus carries strong religious and devotional connotations in Portuguese-speaking Roman Catholic communities, particularly in Portugal and Brazil.
