History & Origin

Romayne elaborates Romaine, from Latin Romana, the feminine of Romanus — 'Roman, of Rome'. Long carried by early saints in its Latin forms, the name reached English through French, and Romayne is a decorative twentieth-century spelling of it.

Romayne has a faint record from around 1904, cresting about 1928 and gone by the late 1960s — only a few dozen girls a year at most. It reads as a genteel, old-fashioned name of a great-grandmother's generation.

Did you know? Romayne reads as a stylish early-1900s reworking of Romaine, part of a taste for -ayne and -aine endings (Charmayne, Lorraine) that gave familiar roots a fashionable look.
