Romia is a rare feminine name whose roots point to the ancient ethnonym for Rome. It can be read as a Latin-based formation from Roma (“Rome”) and Romanus/Romana (“Roman”), parallel to Italian/Spanish Romea and Greek Romaia (Ρωμαία, “Roman woman”), and it overlaps with the Arabic adjective rūmiyya/rūmīyah (رومية), “a woman of the Rūm/Byzantines.” Taken together, the meaning centers on “from Rome,” “Roman,” or “woman of Rome.”

As a given name, Romia appears sporadically in modern records rather than in long-standing saintly or royal calendars. Contemporary usage spans Europe and the Middle East and also arises as a creative blend of Roma or Romy with Mia. Related forms and variants include Romea, Romiya/Rumiya, Romina, Romana, and Romaine; short forms are Romi and Romy, with Mia a natural nickname. The name conveys cosmopolitan heritage, travel, and classical romance.
