MEANING & HISTORY
What does Tranquilina mean?
Tranquilina belongs to the Latin Tranquillus–Tranquillinus name family, whose explanation concerns calmness. The exact Tranquilina spelling also appears in modern scholarship on the Roman empress Furia Sabinia Tranquilina; English publications often use Tranquillina.
This historical spelling evidence and the name-family explanation serve different purposes. They do not establish that a Philippine bearer was named after the empress or has a particular temperament.
