An ancient name of unknown meaning from Greek mythology. Accalia was the surrogate mother to twins Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome. Because of this, speculation has been given that Accalia somehow means "she-wolf", as Romulus and Remus were raised by a wolf. However, etymologically, this assumption is incorrect.
