MEANING & HISTORY

What does Romana mean?

Romana is independently documented as the feminine form of Romanus. The Latin family refers to a Roman, giving a specific geographical or civic word behind the name.

This fills the formation gap in the brief Tagalog usage entry. It describes the historical name tradition rather than proving that a modern bearer was born in Rome or has Italian ancestry.
