Amparo (name)

Amparo is a Portuguese and Spanish word that means refuge or shelter (and in a broader sense, protection). Several places in the Iberian Peninsula and in Latin America are named Amparo, some associated with Our Lady of the Refuge (Port.: Nossa Senhora do Amparo, Esp: Nuestra Señora del Amparo). It is sometimes spelled Ámparo (in Spanish).
