History and Origin
Paloma is a female given name, derived from Latin "palumbus" which means Dove; a symbol of Peace. The name also can be understood as The Holy Spirit symbolized in this bird. Palomma, using double "m", comes from a Neapolitan dialect, made famous in the song "Palomma 'e notte" written by Di Giacomo and Buongiovanni in 1906.
In Southern Italy is celebrated on Easter "La Festa della Palomma" (Feast of Palomma) at the Chiesa della Madonna della Nova (Our Lady of Nova's Church), Ostuni, Puglia. In Spain is celebrated "Virgen de la Paloma de Madrid" feast's day on August 15.
Paloma is a common name in Italy, Hungary, and especially Spain.
Spanish: from the vocabulary word meaning ‘dove’ (Latin palumba, earlier palumbes). The given name has originated because of the attractive gentle qualities of the bird; it may in part have a religious significance, as the dove is the symbol of the Holy Spirit.
