      But she was from an Arab lineage from this city yes.
      I don't know what you mean by nationality but the term "Syria" (Not equal to the modern country) and "Syrian" existed before the Roman Conquest.

      No, you’re just camouflaging her origins with an ambiguous provincial term. She was Arab through and through and all historical sources points to the fact she’s Arab. All you need is one small google search on your toaster to see it for yourself.

      ​@@badgoy534 No She was born in Emesa in the Roman province of Syria (Provincia Syria).
      And the name Syria was invented by the Greeks which was related to the land of the Arameans before the Roman conquests of the Eastern part of the Mediterranean.
      What are you saying here ?
      Domna was a latin word meaning madam or lady not "Dark Skinned".
      You can find this word here :
      "Be for'oimais sazos,
      Bela domna e pros,
      Que.m fos datz a rescos
      En baizan guizardos,
      Si ja per als no fos,
      Mas car sui enveyos,
      C'us bes val d'autres dos,
      Can per fors' es faihz dos . - (Bernart de Ventadour, Lo gens tems de pascor)"
      Paternally, she was from an Arab descent yes.

      ​@@takkarali7611 She was Arab from Emesa but her name was latin quite simply because it was fashionable at this period for the Emperors of various colonized Roman territories to appropriate Roman Culture through language, first name, clothing etc... She was an educated woman who knew to read Latin and Greek.
