Tránsito

The name Tránsito is derived from the Spanish word 'tránsito', meaning 'passage' or 'transition'. It is a Marian name, referring to the Dormition or Assumption of the Virgin Mary, specifically the 'Tránsito de la Virgen' (Passage of the Virgin). This religious association gave rise to its use as a given name, particularly in Spanish-speaking Catholic cultures.

Historically, names related to Marian devotion were common in Spain and Latin America, often given to girls born around the feast day of the Dormition/Assumption (August 15th). While less common in modern times, it retains a strong cultural and religious significance for those who bear it.
