Roldana is Germanic in Origin.

Roldana is a rare feminine form derived from the Roland family of names, ultimately from Proto‑Germanic hrōþ “fame, renown” + land “land, territory.” Through medieval French Roland and its Iberian and Italian reflexes Roldán/Roldano, the addition of the feminine -a yields Roldana, conveying the meaning “renowned in the land” or “famous land.” The name shares its spelling with a Mexican plant genus but is etymologically tied to the epic hero Roland of Carolingian legend.

Usage is sporadic and chiefly found in Spanish-speaking contexts, especially Mexico and parts of Central America, as a modern, stylistically Iberian alternative to Rolanda. It remains very uncommon in Europe and North America. Variants and cognates include Rolanda, Rolande (French), Orlanda, and the masculine Roland, Orlando, Roldán, and Roldano. Possible short forms are Lana, Dana, and Rolda; Roli/Roly appears informally in some families.
