Romey is an English pet form and diminutive of names beginning with Rom-, most commonly Romeo or Rome, themselves derived from the Latin Rōmānus, meaning of Rome or a Roman. The place name Rome is traditionally linked to the legendary founder Romulus, whose own name may stem from the Proto-Indo-European root meaning strength or flowing water, though its ultimate origin remains debated. Romey has occasionally been used as an independent given name, particularly in English-speaking countries, carrying the romantic associations of its parent form Romeo, made famous by Shakespeare's tragedy. Related forms include Romy, Romi, and Roma.
