Meaning: One who lives by a hillock; West African cultural group

Wherever life takes baby Loma, they’ll find community and connection. A feminine name, Loma, could be a shortened form of several titles, including Paloma, Salome, and Lahoma. If baby meets people with these names in the future, they’ll already have something amazing in common! Loma might also have roots as a Spanish last name, used to describe someone who “lived by a hillock.” While the word “hillock” might refer to a smaller hill or mound, we’re sure there are no limits to the heights that little Loma can reach. As baby grows older, they may also learn about the Loma people, a West African cultural group with a very familiar name.
