It's Latin for eagle, and was used for their eagle-statue battle standards. Regardless of what war deitites they worshipped, it's a gramatically feminine noun.

And regardless of its grammatical gender in its original language when used as a name in another language 1000s of years later, it can be used for whatever gender the name giver sees fit.

You are correct. The "eagle" or Aquila became a sort of slang for the Roman Legion battle standard. Instead of calling it "the battle standard" they called it "the eagle". Of course, as you point out, it was also the word for a bird species. As far as name gender goes, I'm not sure how much that applies in modern days but, again, you are correct in that many languages have a feminine and masculine version for words and names. English, however, does not.

Neat! My language knowledge skews more towards the far southern end of the med.

The kind that make me not want to try and spell Mediterranean, but also not want to look it up, cause I'm unwilling to leave it spelled incorrectly.

Meh it wasn't nice that the only good looking LI in the game was the victim of a cuck scenario.
What LI said about her boyfriend while she was making love to Mc made me sick.
The LIs are all terrible, the ugly milf who orders the assassination who wants you dead, the sex addict doctor with no moral compass, the whore who assassinates you and almost kills you...
Since I didn't pay a dime for this game, I'm going to reject all LIs and keep playing just because I'm curious about the ending.
Fuck the capital and the village ending, it's probably the third ending I'm looking for...

it akshually is because there's historical Roman guys named Aquila lol, it's basically like how we name guys "Leo" despite it meaning "lion," when we hear the name now we don't think good old Leo DiCaprio is literally a lion who only eats women under the age of 25, we just use the name for dudes because it sounds cool.
I love Aquila the character, and it was really just a harmless note, it's not like I'm telling the guy to redo his game, in fact I think it's one of the most interesting ones on the site, honestly I assumed someone into Roman history would've taken it as intended as a harmless and slightly humorous comment
it passes for a woman's name now because of the "a" at the end, but as a Roman name it was probably meant to sound like a real hard man's name since it means "eagle" and they loved their fuckin eagles, which is why I commented on the irony, that's all lol

I'm just a fan of the linguistics discussion your post spawned. I'm always down for a linguistics tangent.

The only famous (Ancient) Roman using Aquila I've heard of was Marcus Flavius Aquila but his actual name was just Marcus Flavius. Aquila was added to the end as an honorary since he was the one who recovered the lost standard of the 9th Legion. Thus, he became known as Marcus Flavious "The Eagle". I couldn't find an instance of someone named Aquila before him. After him you can find Aquila used as both given name and surname so, he might have been the first. That's just from a bit of google research so, far from a scholarly opinion.
