      The name Cadelaria has its origins in Spanish and holds the meaning Born at Candlemas. Candlemas, also known as the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple, is a Christian holiday celebrated annually on the 2nd of February. This name carries a strong religious connotation, as it is linked to the commemoration of Jesus' presentation in the temple.

      In historical records, the name Cadelaria can be traced back to the Middle Ages in Spain. It was a common practice during this time to name children after significant religious events or saints. Cadelaria specifically refers to a child who was born on or around Candlemas. This name might have been bestowed upon those born on this religious occasion to honor the significance of their birthdate and celebrate their arrival.
