Paloma's Notebook is a lined journal with one name on the cover, hers. The name sits in flowing script above a soft pink watercolor apple blossom design.
Behind the Name says Paloma means “dove, pigeon” in Spanish. Wikipedia explains that the name derives from the Latin palumbus, a dove, a symbol of peace, and that it can also be understood as the Holy Spirit symbolized by that bird. It is a common name in Spain. A Paloma carries a gentle, peaceful name.
Behind the Name finds no related names for Paloma. Wikipedia mentions the double-m form Palomma, which comes from a Neapolitan dialect and was made famous by the 1906 song “Palomma ’e notte.” Paloma is already easy to say.
Wikipedia’s list of Palomas includes Paloma Picasso, a French and Spanish designer and businesswoman, and Paloma Faith, a British singer and actress. It also names Paloma San Basilio, a Spanish singer, Paloma Herrera, an Argentine ballet dancer, Paloma Valencia, born in 1978, a Colombian politician, and Paloma Mami, a Chilean-American singer.
Paloma never appeared in a Social Security top-200 decade table, from the 1880s to the 2010s. Behind the Name’s US chart shows it ranked in 31 years between 1993 and 2025, best at 700th in 2010 and 792nd in 2025. It has been more popular in Europe: Behind the Name shows it 81st in Portugal in 2015, 93rd in Chile in 2014 and 250th in France in 2024.
Wikipedia says the feast of the Virgen de la Paloma is held in Madrid on August 15, and in southern Italy the Festa della Palomma is celebrated at Easter at a church in Ostuni. The page also lists many famous Palomas from Spain, France and Latin America.
This is a notebook for every kind of Paloma: the student, the list-maker, the diary keeper, the busy mom. Its 160 lined pages and 6" x 9" format suit daily journaling, study, meal plans, goals or gratitude notes. Plain lines mean no rules about how to use it. Her name on the front makes it easy to spot on a crowded desk.
Notebooks tend to multiply on desks and in drawers. One with Paloma’s name on the front is instantly hers: easy to spot, harder to “borrow”, and more personal than a plain cover. For children especially, seeing their own name on something makes it special and encourages them to actually use it.
How big is Paloma’s Notebook? The notebook measures 6 x 9 inches (roughly 15 x 23 cm) and has 160 lined pages.
