Romie is Italian, Latin in Origin.

Romie is a friendly, gender‑neutral diminutive in English, on record since the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when it appears in U.S. and British registers mostly for boys; by the later 20th century it also saw use for girls, aided by the visibility of Romy and the broader nickname trend.

It most often shortens Roman or Romeo (from Latin Romanus “Roman,” and medieval Italian Romeo “pilgrim to Rome”); it can also be a pet form of Jerome (Greek Hieronymos “sacred name”) or Rosemary (Latin ros marinus “dew of the sea”), and sometimes of Romilly or Roma. Variant spellings include Romy, Romey, and Romi; related forms are Romée (French) and Romilly. Because of its blended roots, Romie carries layered meanings: “Roman/one bound for Rome,” “sacred name,” or “dew of the sea,” giving the name both historic resonance and a light, contemporary feel.
