Rola is Arabic, Polish, Slavic in Origin.
Rola is a multicultural feminine given name with primary use in the Arabic-speaking Levant. In Arabic (رولا), it has been widely used since the mid-20th century, often explained as relating to a word meaning "small rock" or "pebble"; others treat it as a modern, mellifluous coinage. Through international contact, Rola also functions as a short form of Rolanda/Rolande (from Germanic hrod "fame" + land "land"), and as a transliteration-variant of Greek Roula (Ρούλα), a pet form of Stavroula or Charoula.
Variants include Roula and Rula, with related names Rolanda, Rolande, and Carola. Usage centers in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and the diaspora, with occasional appearance in Europe and North America. Notable bearers include Lebanese entertainer Rola Saad and other media figures, which helped popularize the name in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. It should not be conflated with Rolla, a distinct given name historically tied to Roland.
