ArchivesAccalia - meaning confusion
Hello all, first time posting here!
One of my friends is named Accalia and she's always been under the impression that her name was Latin for "she-wolf", but recently she was told that this is impossible, seeing as "wolf" in Latin is lupus - no apparent association between the two. So, she started looking round the Internet for clues as to what her name actually means, but no luck. All she could find out was that Accalia is the name of the foster mother of Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome; still no meaning.
All this was a few years ago and by now, she's rather quite frustrated, so I thought I'd try here, see if you lot had any ideas. Anyone ever come across a meaning? Also, she pronounces her name "Ah-kal-ee-a" but was told it should be said "Ah-kay-lee-a". Which is correct?
Thanks very much for any help!
Cheers,
Lucy
