Etymology of Romaniuk

What does the name Romaniuk mean?

The surname Romaniuk is derived from the Latin name Romaeus and the Greek name Romaios, which refer to a person who was born in the Roman Empire.

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.
