tranquilas

Tranquilas is the feminine plural form of the Spanish adjective tranquilo, meaning calm or peaceful. In standard Spanish, tranquilas agrees with feminine plural nouns, as in aguas tranquilas or noches tranquilas. It can also appear in literary or rhetorical contexts as a standalone phrase referring to multiple calm things or people. The related forms are tranquilo (masculine singular), tranquila (feminine singular), and tranquilos or tranquilas (masculine or feminine plural, depending on the noun).

The term shares its etymology with other Romance-language words for quiet and peace, derived from Latin tranquillus. In broader usage, tranquila is common in place names, poetry, song lyrics, and everyday speech in Spanish-speaking regions. The plural tranquilas may arise in lists or headings describing several calm settings or conditions, but it is not generally used as a widely recognized proper noun in geography, institutions, or media.

As an English-language reference, tranquilas is typically encountered only as a loanword or in translations when discussing Spanish-language texts or contexts that employ the adjective form. In most cases, its meaning can be understood from context as “calm” or “peaceful,” rather than as a standalone subject with a single, fixed identity.
