Immaculée

Immaculée is a given name, predominantly female, originating from Latin. The name is derived from the Latin phrase "immaculatus," meaning "spotless" or "unblemished." This etymology is most famously associated with the Catholic doctrine of the Immaculate Conception, which posits that the Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin.

The name Immaculée has seen varying degrees of popularity across different cultures and time periods. Its strong religious connotation makes it particularly prevalent in communities with a significant Catholic tradition. While not as common as some other biblical or saintly names, Immaculée carries a distinct and symbolic meaning for those who bear it.

In some contexts, the name may also be associated with virtues such as purity, innocence, and spiritual perfection. The sound and structure of the name itself are often described as elegant and refined. Variations of the name exist in different languages, though Immaculée remains the most direct and recognizable form tied to its theological roots. Its usage as a given name emphasizes a desire for a child to be perceived as pure and untainted.
