Rome is the English name of the Italian capital and means "from Rome", the Eternal City; the Latin Roma is of uncertain origin, which legend solves by naming its founder Romulus. As a first name it sits between the city-name trend and the classic Roman and Romeo. Rome is a newcomer in the United States: it entered the top 1000 in 2020, reached number 451 in 2024 and holds number 452 in 2025.
