A group ofRoma playing musical instruments. FromRomani roma , plural ofrom ( “ man, husband, Romani man ” ) . The latter probably comes fromSanskrit डोम्ब ( ḍomba ,“ lower-caste person working as a wandering musician ” ) , which may have been borrowed from a Dravidian language.[ 1] Folk etymology pointed to a legend that the ethnic group were an exiled people from Imperial times.
The other major categories of words for the Roma are cognates ofGypsy (words related toEgypt ) and cognates oftzigane (words derived from Greek); see those entries for more information.

Roman mythology derived the name fromRōmulus , name of the legendary founder and first king. This is almost certainly afolk etymology , and the name of the mythical figure is more likely derived from the city name. The word may derive from*Roumon- or*Roumen- , an archaic name for theTiber river that would be derived from theProto-Indo-European root*srew- ( “ to flow ” ) (for which compareAncient Greek ῥεῦμα ( rheûma ,“ river ” ) andΣτρῡμών ( Strūmṓn ,“ Strymon ,Struma ” ) ,Albanian rrymë ( “ stream ” ) ,Proto-Slavic *strumy ( “ stream ” ) ,Lithuanian stràuma ( “ stream ” ) , and perhaps also Latinrūmen ). If so, the intermediate source may have been anIndo-European substrate . The word may be ofEtruscan origin, as𐌓𐌖𐌌𐌀 ( ruma ) was one of the Etruscangentes , from𐌓𐌖𐌌 ( rum ,“ teat ” ) . Given the lack of a secure Indo-European etymology forRōma , this possibility is most appealing. Rōma f sg (genitive Rōmae ) ;first declension
