Poloma is Spanish in Origin.
Poloma is a rare modern variant of the Spanish given name Paloma, shaped by contemporary spelling trends. Paloma comes from Spanish paloma "dove," ultimately from Latin palumba, long a Christian symbol of peace and the Holy Spirit. The name gained steady use in Spain, boosted by devotion to the Virgen de la Paloma in Madrid, and spread internationally in the 20th century (notably via designer Paloma Picasso). Poloma itself appears sporadically in recent English-speaking records as a creative alternative.
Meaning "dove," Poloma shares the same gentle imagery as Paloma. Related forms and cognates include Paloma (standard Spanish; also used in Portuguese), Palomba or Colomba (Italian), and Columba (Latin; a saint's name in the Gaelic world). Masculine counterparts include Palomo in Spanish and Colm in Irish. Diminutives and pet forms include Loma, Poma, and Palomita in Spanish. Variant spellings: Paloma, Poloma, and the rarer Palomma in southern Italy.
