I was getting ready to embark, and I saw a strange thing on the local map (on the left) that looked like a square filled with "Ω" symbols. When I moved the local area on top of it, I saw "Lolokromlam" in red letters to the right.

What does this mean?

It's the name of a settlement, by the looks of it dwarven. You can see it on the local map. You can use Embark Anywhere to embark on it, it might be fun, or you can look for another spot. You can read about the settlement in the Legends mode.
