Easy to mix with look-alikes
The spelling risk for Rome is neighbouring look-alikes ("rue", "roy", …), not just typos; it is aproper noun. Frequency #1,572 among 5,742 “R” headwords. Gloss: "Nom de famille.".
Our generated misspelling index lists 4 likely wrong-spelling variants for Rome, with forms such as "rmoe", "roem", and "romme".

It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "rue", "roy", "rte", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
Wiktionary doesn't record an etymology for this headword, so any spelling logic here comes from how the word's sounds map to letters, not a documented origin story. The correct French form is Rome, spelled R-O-M-E.
