Roma (given name)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Roma is a girl's given name in many languages, and the feminine of the name Roman in some languages. It is also a male given name in Slavic cultures. In Hindu mythology, Roma is an alternate name for Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity. It is often short for Romany, a name commonly given to girls not of Romany extraction, and rarely given to those of Romany extraction.

Another source is the fact it is the Italian for the capital of that country, and is given in that spirit.
