MEANING & HISTORY
What does Rogelia mean?
Rogelia is the feminine counterpart of Rogelio. Rogelio continues Late Latin Rogellus or Rogelius; a Germanic relationship with Roger is probable, while a link with Rogatus has also been proposed.
The exact feminine formation is secure even though the older derivation has more than one published account.
