In its simple sense, the name refers to Rome, the capital of Italy and the beating heart of the ancient Roman Empire that profoundly influenced Western civilization. However, the Hebrew meaning of the name runs much deeper, deriving from the root "rom" which signifies height, elevation, and spiritual transcendence. The name Romi is constructed from the word "rom" with the addition of the letter yod (י), representing the possessive form "my."

In modern Israeli culture, the name Romi has become particularly popular in recent decades.
