Rolanda, of Latin origin, is a unique and elegant feminine given name. It is derived from the masculine name Roland, which itself is composed of the elements "hrod" meaning fame and "land" denoting land. Thus, Rolanda can be interpreted as 'famous land'. The name has been historically associated with strength and valor, thanks to its root name's connection to the legendary medieval French hero Roland. However, Rolanda has a softer, more feminine appeal due to its ending '-a', making it an attractive choice for parents seeking a distinctive yet approachable moniker for their daughter.
"The name Rolanda saw a peak of popularity between 1983 and 1989, with five babies named Rolanda born each year from 1983 to 1986, and again in 1989. The highest number of Rolandas born in any single year was six in 1989. Overall, there were 31 births recorded for the name Rolanda during this period."
