The surname "Romanov" has nothing to do with Rome or roman history. Indeed Romanovs' ruled Russia for three hundred four years. It's origins derive from the ruler of ancient "Muscovy", Rurik, also a saint in Russian Orthodoxy. As far as the surname itself, Romanov or Romanof is to Russia as Smith is to North America. It's the name of the former Russian Imperial House. The name comes from Roman who lived in the 16th century.
The origins of his name are not clear, but may have some connection to the Romans. It may mean something like "Roman-like", as in the Italian name Romano.
In "Anastasia Nikolaevna" - (Anastasia Nikolaevna Romanova) the middle name means (Daughter of Nicolai) by the way. Nicolai is also a popular Russian name and comes from the Greek, meaning "Victory of the people".
