Palma is Latin in Origin.
Palma is a feminine given name with roots in Latin palma, meaning palm (the tree or branch, and the palm of the hand). Through Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Catalan use, it carries the symbolism of the palm branch: victory in classical Rome and triumph or martyrdom in Christian tradition, so the name suggests palm tree, palm branch, and, by extension, victory.
Recorded across the medieval Mediterranean, Palma was often given to girls born on Palm Sunday or in connection with the feast. The name has seen steady, modest use in Catholic regions, and also appears in Central Europe as Hungarian Pálma. Variants and related forms include Palmina (Italian diminutive), Palmita (Spanish diminutive), Palmira (Romance elaboration), and Pálma (Hungarian); the form remains Palma in Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, and Catalan. Etymologically related surnames such as De Palma share the same root but are distinct from the given name.
