Explore names influenced by Romani language, family tradition, and the diverse cultural history of Roma communities across Europe.
Roma naming practices and traditions are complex and diverse. They vary a lot between communities, so it would be sensible to do some more targeted research into the particular subgroup your character comes from to make sure the name you choose is suitable.
History, geography, religious beliefs (particularly Christianity and Islam), and cultural assimilation have all shaped naming practices among Roma people. Many have names that fit the conventions of the country where they live. However, some people may use one name for official contexts but go by another within their community.
Lineage can also influence naming—there’s a tradition of passing down certain names within families.
Here are examples inspired by commonly used Roma naming patterns across different regions and communities:
Mihai Petrov
Sorina Stanescu
Ionel Radu
Esmeralda Marin
Alexandru Costea
Florina Dinu
Stefan Ionescu
Daniela Popa
