Italian: from the personal name Romeo, which derives
ultimately from the classical Greek adjective rhomaios
(modern Greek romeos), originally denoting someone from the
eastern Roman Empire, i.e. Byzantium, later someone from Rome itself,
in particular someone who had been on a pilgrimage there, and finally
someone who had made any pilgrimage, i.e. a pilgrim; from this last
sense arose the personal name.
