Meaning & History
Means "chapel" in Spanish, taken from the Spanish titles of the Virgin Mary La Santísima Virgen de la Capilla and Nuestra Señora de la Capilla (meaning "The Most Holy Virgin of the Chapel" and "Our Lady of the Chapel" respectively). It is venerated in the city of Jaén, hence the heavy concentration of this name in that city and province of Andalucia.
