ORIGIN & HISTORY

About the name

My height, my exaltation (Hebrew, from the root rum, "to be high, elevated"). A secondary claim (seen on baby-name aggregator sites only, not corroborated by a fetched primary source) that Romi functions as a Dutch/Hungarian diminutive of Rosemarie, Rosalinde, or Romana is recorded here as unresolved rather than established. No dictionary-sourced pronunciation for Romi was found.
