romily is English in Origin.

Romily is a modern English given name derived from Romilly, a French surname and place name. The toponym traces to the Gallo-Roman personal name Romilius plus the Latin estate suffix -acum (later -y in French), yielding the meaning “estate/settlement of Romilius,” or broadly “from Romilly.” Adopted in Britain through the surname-as-first-name tradition, it has appeared since the late 19th century and is now chiefly feminine while remaining unisex in principle.

Usage rose in the UK across the 20th–21st centuries, aided by awareness of Huguenot Romilly families (notably legal reformer Sir Samuel Romilly). The streamlined spelling Romily sits alongside variants Romilly (traditional) and, by association, Romiley (an English place name). Related modern forms include Romilee and Romilie. Nicknames Romy/Romi and Milly/Millie are common. The name’s appeal blends soft rhythm with historical texture and a subtle classical echo via the Latin root Romilius.
