A Hebrew name meaning "my exaltation". Fewer than 130 people in Poland carry it, nearly all of them women, so most Poles have never met a Romi.
Romi Pronunciation

What Romi means
Where Romi comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Romi comes from Hebrew, built on the root rum, which means to rise or be lifted high. That root holds the sense recorded for the name: my exaltation. Polish speakers meet it as wywyższona. The name sits inside Jewish naming tradition, where words for height and praise have long fed into given names.
Romi reads as short and complete. It has no diminutive and no separate variant, so what a child is called on the first day matches what stands on every official form afterward. Nothing shortens it, and nothing gets added.
In a Polish class register, Romi keeps its own line among longer names and needs no abbreviation. Modern Hebrew gives the name to girls, and the same root yields words like marom, a high place. The meaning points upward, toward exaltation rather than any single trait of temperament. Short, Hebrew, and unshortened: wywyższona.
