Romi is a Hebrew name that is usually explained as "my height" or "exalted", from the root rum, to be high; in Germany and the Netherlands the same spelling is a pet form of Rosemarie, best known through the actress Romy Schneider. The two-syllable sound fits in with Remi and Roma. Romi has climbed from number 4571 in 2015 and entered the US top 1000 for the first time in 2025 at number 818.
