This is for Spanish homework, and I can´t seem to lay my hand on the meaning of this word if it isn't a name.

Conchita is not a name and means the youngest member of the family, or the "baby of the family". - mmercedesm110797, Jan 5, 2012

Good Lord, it is indeed a name is many countries, mmercedesm11. I know people who are named (yes, they have the birth certificate to prove it) Concepción, and everyone calls them Conchita, just like I know people whose actual name is Conchita. - Naomi_Callas, Jan 5, 2012
And it is also can be used as the yougest child of a family in masculine or feminine, but that usage is not as common as the nickname. - pacofinkler, Jan 5, 2012
Go do a proper search mmercedes! - pacofinkler, Jan 5, 2012

Yes Naomi it surely is used for "conceptión" sin duda ! The other usage is not common at least in México - pacofinkler, Jan 5, 2012

Sorry Hoang we can't answer homework questions however I do know you can find it in our dictionary if you look hard enough. A hint; it is not necessarily a name and it is feminine.
