Romeo (given name)

Romeo is an Italian masculine given name. It arose from the Greek Ρωμαίος for a Roman citizen or a pilgrim to Rome. The popularity of the name is primarily due to Luigi da Porto naming his tragic hero Romeo Montecchi in his 1524 novel Giulietta e Romeo, 70 years later adapted by Shakespeare into the play Romeo and Juliet.
