Where did the Spanish Romero family come from? What is the Spanish coat of arms/family crest? When did the Romero family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

From the historical and enchanting region of Spain emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Romero family. Originally, the Spanish people were known only by a single name. The process by which hereditary surnames were adopted in Spain is extremely interesting. Surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves. Often they adopted names that were derived from nicknames. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name. They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. The name Romero is a nickname type of surname for a Roman or an Italian. The name was originally derived from the Latin word Romaeus and the Greek word Romaios, which mean Roman.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Romero, Romera, Romeros, Romeu and others.

First found in Aragon, one of the medieval Christian kingdoms of northern Spain.
