I looked up that name the other day, and it actually likely comes from Arabic via occupation of Spain. Whadi Lupus or something, meaning “valley of wolf”.

The name is believed to be derived from the Arabic phrase وادي اللب, wādī al-lubb, ‘hidden river’, or “river of the core”, because the river narrows down as it flows near to the town of Guadalupe. An alternative etymological explanation, which is commonly found on the internet, states that the name may have derived from the Arabic word for ‘valley’ or ‘river’ (wadi) and the Latin word lupus, meaning ‘wolf’. Another possibility is that it comes from وادي الحب, wādī al-hubb, meaning “River of Love”.
Guadalupe River has a Spanish sounding name, so it is only fair that Mexico send people to clean it up
