Meaning and history
Romane is a French feminine form related to Romain and Roman. It derives from Latin Romanus, meaning “Roman” or “person from Rome.” The name therefore began as an ethnic or geographic designation rather than a character trait. Saints named Romanus helped preserve related forms in Christian Europe. Notable bearers include French actor Romane Bohringer and French judoka Romane Dicko, an Olympic and world champion. The final e marks the feminine form in French.
In 2010, 5 babies were recorded with the name Romane, ranking #12,231 among boys.
