History & Origin
Librada comes from the Latin liberata, 'liberated', and honors St Liberata, known in Spanish as Santa Librada. It reached United States records through Mexican-American and other Hispanic families who kept the tradition of saints' names for daughters.
In American records it was always rare, reaching only a couple dozen girls a year around 1927 before easing away later in the century. A Librada from that time belongs to a great-grandmother's generation now, and the name carries clear Spanish-Catholic heritage.
