History & Origin
Romolo came to the United States with Italian immigration and stayed close to that heritage, a proud, historic name carried from the old country.
In United States records Romolo was rare, given to only a couple dozen boys a year at its high around 1916, and it appeared thinly over a long span into recent decades. A boy named Romolo at that early peak would be well over a hundred today. In Italy the name has kept its classical dignity far longer.
