MEANING & HISTORY
What does Sulpicia mean?
Sulpicia belongs to the Roman Sulpicius family-name tradition. The Real Academia Galega explains the masculine and feminine forms together and identifies the name of a Roman gens, while leaving its oldest root unsettled.
The classical name is also independently documented in scholarship on Roman poets. That concrete name-family history is more secure than a speculative translation such as sulphur, which is not adopted here.
