Romiya is of Hebrew origin, meaning 'lofty' or 'elevated'. It is a unisex name but is more commonly used for girls. The name was brought to prominence by the 20th-century Indian poet and filmmaker, Satyajit Ray, who used it as a character in his film 'Charulata'. Romiya has not been widely adopted globally, retaining an air of uniqueness and rarity.
Romiya is quite rare; only 6 babies were named Romiya in each of two years (2004 and 2008), totaling just 12 over those four years.
