Volvo (latin) is "roll', not 'I roll' ? 200

I sometimes see comments here that Volvo = "I roll" in Latin. From this it looks like it's "roll" ot "to roll".

ego volvo - I roll
nos volvo - nos volvo
volvo super - roll over
permissum nos volvo - let us roll
volvo is sicco - roll it out
silicis quod volvo - rock and roll
volvitur - it rolls
