History & Origin

Romie is a friendly short form rather than a name with its own history. It shortens Roman and Romeo (from Latin Romanus, 'of Rome') and also Jerome (Greek hieronymos, 'sacred name'). Used on its own it is rare, warm, and old-fashioned in a pleasant way; the routes are uncertain, which we note (said 'ROH-mee').

In the U.S. it is very rare as a full given name. Very rare, warm, and vintage-flavoured.
