Meaning & Origin of Romulus
Origin: Latin.
A common claim: Often said to mean 'strength' or to be directly tied to the founding of Rome. Actually: The 'strength' gloss isn't supported by scholarly sources — Romulus is most likely a back-formed name from 'Roma' (the city), not a word meaning strength.
