Lavada
Meaning of Lavada
Lavada sweeps in like a ribbon caught in a summer breeze, its Spanish roots anchored in the verb lavar, “to wash” or “purify,” evoking images of fresh starts and sunlit courtyards. Picture a young mother in 1912 Arkansas carefully inscribing “Lavada” on the birth announcements—she wasn’t alone, as the name climbed all the way to #78 that year and lingered playfully in the top 120 through the roaring ’20s, dusty ’30s and hopeful ’40s. It conjures vintage charm and Southern hospitality, mingling the warmth of sun-soaked porches with the lilt of flamenco nights. With each syllable—luh-VAY-duh—it feels both timelessly exotic and unmistakably down-home, making Lavada a spirited choice for families craving a name that dances between heritage and heart.
