it’s much closer to meaning “roman” than “walnut folk” is! romania = roman-ia = wallach-ia. it does also literally mean an eastern romance speaker, which is a subset of latin speakers, and it got that meaning from just meaning romance/latin speaker earlier
Denotatively it doesn’t mean Roman or Latin! So it has the same issue with “Welsh.” Also I think “Walnut Folk” is much funnier.
