celebrada

Celebrada is the feminine form of the past participle of the Spanish verb celebrar, meaning that it functions as an adjective or as part of a passive construction. It conveys the sense of something that has been celebrated, observed, or regarded as notable, and it agrees with the noun it modifies in gender and number (masculine: celebrado; feminine: celebrada; plural: celebrados, celebradas).

In everyday usage, celebrada describes events, dates, or persons that are celebrated or held in esteem. Examples include frases such as una fiesta celebrada or una fecha celebrada. It can also appear in passive constructions, as in la ceremonia fue celebrada (the ceremony was celebrated or held). The choice between celebrada and synonyms like célebre or conmemorada depends on nuance: celebrada emphasizes the act of celebration, while célebre denotes fame or renown.

Beyond grammar, celebrada may appear as a toponym or surname in some Spanish-speaking areas, though it is not widely recognized as a major geographic name or widely-known family name. When a sense of prominence or distinction is intended, célebre or destacado might be used instead.

Etymology: celebrada comes from celebrar, which ultimately derives from Latin celebrare, meaning to celebrate or honor. In translation, celebrada yields equivalents such as celebrated, renowned, or commemorated, depending on context.
