Roula, woman's name very common, derived from the removal of syllables from the beginning of female suburb names such as, Argyroula, Zacharoula, Theodoroula, Stavroula etc.

Behind Roula hides the productive suffix -ula, used to form a suburotic female genus, e.g. cat-ula, heart-ula, child-ula. The suffix -ula came from the Latin -ulla, and was previously written with two lambda (ll), as is the case today in Cyprus (see Cypriot dialect), but the double is pronounced, e.g. Argyrul-la, Marul-la, Georgul-la.

The male type of the name, Roulis, is no longer very common, perhaps because of the new meanings the word acquired.
