[Opinions] It's also a Spanish name.

Lourdes isn't only used by the French, it's also used among Spanish-speakers. I've met a Lourdes only once, but she was an older Hispanic woman and said her name more like LOR-dhehs.

In the case of singer Madonna's daughter Lourdes, I believe her father is Hispanic as well.

It’s classified as Spanish here, never heard anyone from French speaking context using the name. I can’t imagine an Italian, even an extremely devout one, with the name, it would be considered ridiculous. So Lourdes might be of French and Catholic derivation but it’s very Hispanic Catholic.

Not so much Spanish as Catholic, surely? It's a French place name, after all.
