Borromeo (Italian): nickname for a pious person who had made the pilgrimage to Rome, or an amiable man who bore the given name “Romeo,” from the Italian “bono,” meaning good + Romeo + Roman = Borromeo. The Borromeo family ancestry can be traced to a Saint Justina who was martyred in 303. Skipping some centuries ahead, in the mid 18th century, Carlos “Capitan Aro” Borromeo is said to be the first Borromeo to settle in the Philippines. Skipping three more centuries ahead we come to New Jersey resident Carlos P. Borromeo, Jr., M.D., M.Sc.
