Romy
Romy Origin and Meaning
Austrian actress Romy Schneider seemed to be the singular bearer of this international nickname name until it found new style currency in the past decade.
Like other Ro-names Roman, Rowan, and Romeo, Romy has gained favor with the celebrity set. Matt Lauer has a daughter named Romy, as do director Sofia Coppola and Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars and others. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and wife Carrie named their daughter Romy in 2021.
Some might remember the 1997 comedy Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, with Mira Sorvino as Romy.
Romy hasn't entered the US Top 1000 as yet, but it's a Top 100 name in several European countries, and especially popular in France. In Spanish-speaking countries, Romy is also a diminutive of Romina, and was very popular in the eighties and early nineties.
