Etymology of Romen

What does the name Romen mean?

The surname Romen is derived from the Latin name Romaeus and the Greek name Romaios, which refer to a person who was born in the Roman Empire. In later years, this personal name was adopted by those who were Roman or an Italian. This name became popular in both Western and Eastern Europe because it was borne by several early saints including a 7th century Bishop of Rouen.
