Romica is Romanian in Origin.

Romica is a Romanian given name formed with the affectionate suffix -ică/-ica, used as a pet form of Rom-based names such as Roman, Romeo, and Romulus for men and Romana or Romina for women. The underlying roots are Latin Romanus, “Roman, of Rome,” and, via Italian Romeo (from Late Latin Romaeus), “a pilgrim to Rome,” so the name conveys senses like “Roman” or “one bound for Rome.”

In Romania it moved from nickname to independent given name in the 20th century and occurs for both sexes; notable bearers include the comedian Romică Țociu and singer Romica Puceanu. Variants and cognates include Romică (diacritic), Romi/Romy, Romika, Romina, Romana, Roman, Romeo, and Romulus; the spelling Romica is common where diacritics are omitted. The name also appears sporadically in South Asian usage as a modern feminine form influenced by Romi/Romina.
