Meaning: Roman woman

Romola is a girl’s name of Latin origin, meaning “Roman woman.” It’s the feminine form of Romulus, who was one of the famous founders of Rome along with Remus. These twin brothers were raised by a she-wolf after being abandoned as babies on the banks of the river Tiber. They both wanted to found a new city, but disagreed on where to build it. After killing Remus, Romulus built the great city and kingdom of Rome on Palatine Hill. If you’re fascinated by ancient Roman history, or have a love for the modern city, why not pay homage by naming baby Romola?
