MEANING & HISTORY

What does Roma mean?

Roma is documented as a personal name from Latin and Italian Roma, Rome. Its immediate source is the city name rather than the English word roam.

Rome’s ultimate etymology has competing ancient and modern explanations, so the personal name does not have one secure deeper literal gloss. The place-name formation itself is clear without assigning a national identity to the bearer.
