Etymonline
Word Origin & History
romaine
1907, from Fr. romaine (in laitue romaine, lit. "Roman lettuce"), from fem. of O.Fr. romain "Roman," from L. Romanus "Roman." Perhaps so called because of the lettuce's introduction into France (by Bureau de la Rivière, chamberlain of Charles V and VI) at the time of the Avignon papacy (1309-77).
