The term "Romance languages" refers to the fact that these languages are derived from Latin, the language of the Roman Empire. Latin itself evolved into different dialects as the Roman Empire spread, eventually leading to the development of French, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Romanian. The term "Romance" in this context comes from the Latin word "Romanicus," which means "of the Romans." These languages are also called Romance languages because they share similar grammatical structures and vocabulary due to their common Latin origin.
