The name Romey, of Latin origin, is derived from the Roman family name Romulus. It means 'citizen of Rome' and was traditionally used as a surname before evolving into a given name. Romey is often associated with the ancient city of Rome, known for its rich history and culture.
Romey experienced a significant surge in births during the World War I era (1914-1918), with peaks in 1918 and 1923. However, there was a notable decline post-war, with fewer than 10 births per year from 1925 to 1936. The name gained popularity again in the mid-50s but has since fallen out of favor, with only occasional appearances in recent years (five births each in 2008, 2011, and 2019). Overall, Romey has seen 314 births over the past century.
