- Source: Carmen (given name)
Carmen is a feminine given name in the Spanish language. It has two different origins, with its first root used as a nickname for Carmel, from Hebrew karmel meaning "vineyard of God", which is the name of a mountain range in the Middle East. The second origin is from Latin carmen, which means "song" and is also the root of the English word "charm".
The name of the Roman goddess Carmenta based on this root comes from the purely Latin origin, as is the fragment of archaic Latin known as "Carmen Saliare". The name is generally female in Spanish (Carmen), Portuguese (Carmo), Catalan (Carme), French and Romanian (Carmen).
Spanish name
As a Spanish given name, it is usually part of the devotional compound names María del Carmen, Nuestra Señora del Carmen (Our Lady of Carmen), or Virgen del Carmen (in English, Our Lady of Mount Carmel), stemming from the tradition of the vision of Mary, mother of Jesus on 16 July 1251 by Simon Stock, head of the Carmelite order.
