Browse nicknames →The Story of Romen
Romen is a variant spelling of Roman, which derives from the Latin 'Romanus,' meaning 'from Rome' or 'a Roman citizen.' The original Latin name referred to someone from the great city of Rome, capital of the ancient empire. The variant spelling 'Romen' with an 'e' gives it a slightly softer, more modern feel while retaining the same powerful historical roots.
Roman has steadily climbed US baby name charts, reaching the top 50 in recent years, helped by its association with strength and history. The 'e' spelling Romen is a less common variant that gives parents the sound they want with a distinctive look that avoids the more familiar spelling.
The name Roman carries the prestige of the Roman Empire, one of the most influential civilizations in history. In Catholic tradition, Saint Roman is venerated, and the name is popular in Slavic countries. The unusual 'Romen' spelling has a contemporary American feel.
