Gloriosos is a term of Spanish origin meaning "glorious ones" as a plural form of glorioso. In everyday Spanish, glorioso and its plural gloriosos function as adjectives and can describe people, events, or things associated with glory, splendor, or divine favor. In historical or literary contexts, the word may appear in plural form to refer to a group celebrated for virtuous or meritorious deeds.

In contemporary media, Gloriosos is commonly used as a proper name. It appears as the name of fictional orders, guilds, clans, or factions in novels, comics, and role-playing games, typically to convey nobility or martial honor. It has also been used as the name of bands or musical projects in some regions, though such uses are not standardized and may refer to local or independent artists.

Geographically, there are no widely recognized places called Gloriosos, but the stem appears in various toponyms derived from glorioso, such as hill, route, or landmark names in Spanish-speaking areas. In religion and culture, the singular glorioso is more common when referencing saints or celebrated figures, whereas gloriosos would only appear if the speaker is naming or describing multiple figures or using it in a stylistic or rhetorical sense.

Because Gloriosos lacks a single, universal definition, its meaning is determined by context and usage in language, literature, and media.
