Hi Steve,
Abogada means lawyer, and in the same sense advocate, intercessor or mediatior. It is one of the titles given to the Virgin Mary in the Salve Regina prayer, Abogada Nuestra, Our Intercessor, Most gracious advocate. Many names or titles given to the Virgin Mary are common given names, sometimes for both females and males: Dolores, Regina, Consuelo, Socorro, Remedios, Pilar, Carmen, etc.
So I guess Abogada is a given name for the child, based on the Our Advocate title for Virgin Mary. It may also be the name of a saint.
Regards,
Victoriano Navarro
