Romanes
r(o)-ma-nes
Origin:Latin
Other Origin(s):Roman
Meaning:Roman, from Rome; Romany
While its -s ending might suggest a plural definition, the masculine name Romanes is most likely another variant of Roman. Deriving from the Latin and Roman title Romanus, Roman means “Roman” or “from Rome,” sharing its translations with Romanes, Romane, and other similar monikers. Evoking reminders of ancient Roman civilization and those who dwelled in it, Romanes could be a lovely nod to your favorite historical era. Perhaps you and little Romanes will visit Rome someday, Italy’s capital city and the site of some of the world’s most iconic landmarks. Some sources also link Romanes to “Romany,” the title given to a group of languages spoken by more than three million people worldwide.
