Name Day

edit

I've changed the sentence that refers to the name day to more accurately reflect an inclusive worldview. Previously, it stated that the name day was on Feb 28, without stating the country. The Slovakian name page states that it is on Feb 23rd, so I changed the sentence to read that the name day varies by country. 24.222.45.114 (talk) 18:24, 27 April 2010 (UTC)Reply

Variations

edit

In fact i see three variations in here, they are Roman, Romain and Romano. The others may just be slighty different in term of pronunciation. Following the form at it is right now makes no sense, one could just include the phonetics for every language, which should slightly vary. This is - excuse me for the harshness - pure nonsense. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.9.148.14 (talk) 15:34, 24 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

Romano is the synonym for 'Roman' used in the Portuguese language. Romão is used as synonym or proper name in some countries, or in families originating in Rome.

Romano is used as an adjective in the Portuguese language (from Rome — or the Roman Empire), never as a given name. The first name, in Portuguese, is Romão. That's it. Enough! Scheridon (talk) 19:46, 31 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
