Yes, you're right. There's in spanish also the word "damisela", although none of the two are really widely used.

it's nothin, there was just this girl that likes me and she's always saying stupid stuff. i didn't even know what doncella was until she called me that and i was just like w t f?

b. A virgin.).

But for somehow, we use "doncella" with the same meaning as "maiden" here (Argentina).. Well, it's even a word that isn't used often, but in poems or songs.

Actually "Mujer que no ha conocido varon" may just be an elaborate way of calling a woman a virgin. I believe the translation to that phrase is " A woman who has no knowledge of males (or a male)". Sounds like a really old fashioned phrase.

Hi! I really don't know the background in terms of origin and that sort of thing; but I would say that in the vast majority of cases it has a sexual connotation.
