Meaning:Roman, from Rome
From early Christian Greece to ancient Rome, Romanos is a name with connections to two historic civilizations. As the Greek form of the Latin title Romanus, Romanos means “Roman” or “from Rome.” Perhaps once used by the Greeks to refer to their fellow citizens in the Roman Empire, Romanos depicts a time when Roman rule spanned several continents. Three rulers of the Byzantine Empire, Rome’s eastern stronghold, carried the name Romanos. While they might prefer picture books and stories at first, your Romanos can someday search for their name in the history books.
