Romiah is in Origin.

Romiah is a rare cross-cultural given name with several credible roots. In Hebrew it aligns with names ending in -iah (invoking Yahweh) and can be read from the root rwm “to be high, exalted,” yielding “Yah is exalted” or “exalted by God.” It overlaps with biblical forms such as Ramiah/Remiah/Raamiah, minor post-exilic figures in Ezra–Nehemiah. In Arabic, a close cognate is Rūmiyya/Rumiya (“Roman/Byzantine woman”), derived from Rūm, long used as an ethnonym; Romiah functions as an anglicized spelling. The name also surfaces as a modern blend of Romy with the popular -ah ending.

Usage is modern and uncommon in English-speaking countries, generally perceived as feminine but essentially unisex. Variants and related forms include Romia, Romiya, Rumiya, Rumia, Romya, Ramiah, Remiah, Raamiah, Romy, and Romi. Depending on origin, meanings include “exalted of God,” “height,” or “Roman/Byzantine woman.”
