Origin
Meaning and history of Mariadelosang
The given name Mariadelosang is a Spanish name with roots in both the Spanish language and Roman Catholicism. It is a combination of the name Maria, derived from the Hebrew name Miryam, and the Spanish phrase "de los ang", meaning "of the angels".
The name Maria has a long history, dating back to ancient times. It was a popular name among early Christians, who bestowed it upon girls in honor of Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. The name Maria is mentioned numerous times in the New Testament, and has been widely used in various forms throughout the Christian world.
The addition of "de los ang" to the name Maria reflects the strong Catholic tradition in Spain and Latin American countries. In Catholic theology, angels are believed to be spiritual beings who serve as messengers of God and protectors of humanity. The inclusion of "de los ang" in the name Mariadelosang suggests a connection to these celestial beings and a sense of heavenly protection.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Mariadelosang can be found in the 16th century, during the Spanish colonization of the Americas. As Spanish missionaries spread Catholicism throughout the region, they introduced names reflecting Catholic beliefs and traditions, including Mariadelosang.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the name Mariadelosang, though its usage has been relatively uncommon compared to the more widespread name Maria. One example is Mariadelosang Muñoz (1755-1820), a Spanish painter known for her portraits and religious works.
Another notable figure was Mariadelosang Crochet (1892-1976), a Cuban writer and educator who founded several schools in Havana and authored numerous textbooks and children's literature works.
In Mexico, Mariadelosang Izquierdo (1906-1955) was a prominent ceramist and painter, recognized for her contributions to the Mexican folk art tradition and her highly stylized depictions of indigenous themes.
Mariadelosang Piñon (1924-2011) was a celebrated Venezuelan singer and actress, known for her performances in zarzuelas (Spanish operettas) and her work in preserving and promoting Venezuelan folklore and music.
Lastly, Mariadelosang Romero (1932-2020) was a notable Colombian writer and journalist, recognized for her contributions to children's literature and her advocacy for social and environmental causes.
While not as common as some other names, Mariadelosang has a rich history and cultural significance, particularly within the Spanish-speaking world and the Catholic tradition.

FAQ
Mariadelosang: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Mariadelosang?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 150 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Mariadelosang going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables.

We classify Mariadelosang as "Very Rare". It ranks above 70.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 153 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Mariadelosang most popular?

What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Mariadelosang in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Mariadelosang a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Mariadelosang in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Mariadelosang still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Mariadelosang in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Mariadelosang can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
