Romelito

[fdb]

Romelito” is a fairly common given name in the Philippines. It looks like a Spanish diminutive of “Rommel” (as in the “desert fox”). Or does it have some meaning in Tagalog?

What is common in Spanish is Romerito, from Romero, which is far more common as a surname than as a given name. It means both 'rosemary' and 'pilgrim (to Rome)'.
