Romulus
Latin
"citizen of Rome"Romulus Origin and Meaning
The name Romulus is a boy's name of Latin origin meaning "citizen of Rome".
He was the original Roman, Remus's twin and a founder of Rome. But parents attracted to this name are advised to read the legend first. Romulus does have some less than savory characteristics, including killing his twin brother and making Rome in his own image, and is later deified as Quinnius. Romy and Quinn might make good twin names.
