Romana

Whether it reminds you of ancient Rome or your current favorite city, the feminine name Romana is as bella as can be. Just as Italy’s capital is home to many famous bridges, this moniker is a bridge of sorts between the past and the present! Romana likely derives from Romanus, a Latin and Roman moniker meaning “Roman” or “from Rome.” These phrases could easily be used to refer to the current inhabitants of Rome, or those who dwelled there 2000 years ago. Many modern languages, customs, and architectural styles found their beginnings in ancient Roman civilization. Naming baby Romana could be a lovely nod to this era or preparation for future travels to the Eternal City.
