Amparo is a Portuguese and Spanish word which means refuge or shelter (and in a broader sense, protection). Several places in the Iberian Peninsula and in Latin America are named Amparo, some of them associated with the devotion of Our Lady of the Refuge (Port.: Nossa Senhora do Amparo, Esp: Nuestra Señora del Amparo).
This forename is quite common in Valencia, Spain. The city is dedicated to La virgen de los desamparados, the patron saint of the city of Valencia.
On 24 February 1409, the Venerable Joan Gilabert Jofré of the Military Order of Our Lady of Mercy, was en route to Valencia's Cathedral to deliver a Lenten sermon when he witnessed a mentally ill man being lynched on a street. In response, his Order founded a hospice in 1410 with help from generous Roman Catholic confreres for the mentally ill under the invocation of Sancta dels Folls Doña Nostra i Desamparats Innocents (Our Lady of the insane and the innocent; sometimes translated as Our Lady of the forsaken), whose goal was to help people with mental illness. It has been claimed that this was the first psychiatric hospital in the world. Due to the famine of the period and the high rate of orphans due to the plague, the streets were filled with orphans. The hospice was soon expanded to assist orphans and foundlings, many the result of the plague.
