I know a Somali guy called Roman :lol: this is the kinda name you only come across in the Bold & The Beautiful or some shit..SMH

But it's actually a very traditional Somali name: Rumaan, but with western spelling of our names, it turned into Roman by coincidence.

Yurub is a traditional somali name, it doesn't mean "europe".

Yurub is a traditional somali name, it doesn't mean "europe".
Are you sure?

What about Baarliin and Aasiya? I thought they were derived from the German city of Berlin and the Oriental continent Asia.

I know barliin, istambuul, istaarliin (sterling) aren't somali, but I've been told yurub is some kind of a tree.
