MEANING & HISTORY
What does Jose Romi mean?
Jose is explicitly recorded as the unaccented José form used in the Americas and Philippines. Its Joseph family comes from Hebrew Yosef, understood as may he add.
The researched Hebrew Romi entry gives my height or my exaltation. Nordic Names independently records Romi as a Rosemarie short form; the shared spelling does not combine the two histories.
