Dew of the sea; from Rome
Romey is often used as a diminutive of Rosemary, which combines the Latin words 'ros' (dew) and 'marinus' (sea). It can also serve as a playful, modern variation of Romilly or a toponymic reference to the city of Rome. Its usage as a standalone name has grown as parents look for alternatives to Romy and Remy.
About 13 girls were named Romey in 2025.
