What is the meaning of the name Romano ?

The baby name Romano is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced Italian: /roˈmaːno/ (roh-MAH-noh); English approximation: /roʊˈmɑːnoʊ/ (roh-MAH-noh).

Romano is Italian, Latin in Origin.

Romano is the Italian form of Latin Romanus, meaning “Roman” or “of Rome.” First used as a Roman cognomen and later as a medieval byname for people from Rome or pilgrims devoted to its shrines, it moved seamlessly between given name and surname in the Italian peninsula. Multiple saints called Romanus (martyrs and monks) sustained its Christian appeal, ensuring steady if regionally varied use from the Middle Ages through the modern era.

International variants include Romanus (Latin), Roman (English, German, Polish, Russian Роман), Román (Spanish), Romà (Catalan), and Romain (French); feminine counterparts are Romana, Romaine, and Romane. In Portuguese and Italian, Romano also functions as a surname meaning “the Roman,” often seen as Di/De Romano. Contemporary nicknames include Romy and Rome. The name conveys heritage, citizenship, and enduring ties to the city that shaped Western culture.
