Romolla
r(o)-molla,
rom(ol)-la
Origin:Italian
Meaning:Rome; From Rome
Romolla is an Italian feminine name intertwined with one of the most well-known tales of Roman mythology. A respelling of Romola, Romolla is the feminine form of Romulus, the title given to one of the legendary founders of Rome. The disagreements between Romulus and his twin brother, Remus, all centered around the location of their new city. These disagreements proved challenging to resolve, though ultimately, Romulus took the upper hand. A new city was built bearing the name Rome, after its somewhat troublesome founder! Romolla’s roots can be traced directly to this mythological event, as it shares Romulus' Latin translations of “Rome” and “from Rome.” If you’re enthralled by stories of how ancient Rome came to be, Romolla could be a fitting choice for baby.
