Romelo, of Latin origin, translates to 'protecting.' It is composed of two parts: 'romanus,' meaning Roman, and 'helena,' derived from Helen of Troy. The name was likely given to children born in former Roman territories to symbolize their protection under the Roman influence.
The name Romelo experienced a significant increase in popularity from 2010 onwards, with over 40 births each year since then. The peak was reached in 2021 with 54 births. However, there was a notable decline in recent years, with only 33 births recorded in 2023.
