MEANING & HISTORY
What does Immaculada mean?
The Real Academia Galega lists exact Catalan Immaculada as the counterpart of Inmaculada. Its etymological account analyses Latin inmaculata through the negative prefix and macula, stain, and explains the Marian devotional use.
This supports both the doubled-m spelling and the religious name history without silently substituting the Spanish spelling Inmaculada.
