Dew of the sea, in the rosemary-herb interpretation.
The name-research account explicitly records a rosemary-herb route for Romi. It traces the plant word to Latin dew and sea elements. This interpretation is separate from the Hebrew-linked Romi tradition and does not establish a Hebrew literal meaning.
Distinct Hebrew-linked and Rosemary/Rosemarie naming traditions.
The exact English dictionary entry records a Hebrew-linked Romi but leaves its deeper derivation unresolved. A separate name-research account records short forms of Rosemary and Rosemarie, including a rosemary-herb interpretation. These are distinct naming traditions; the herb meaning does not explain the Hebrew-linked name.
