Question

Is there any relationship between a ROMAN and ROMANCE ?

Answer 1

Yes.  Roman being something "of Rome", i.e. the Latin language.  (Latin was the official language of Ancient Rome.)  All languages which descend from Latin are then called Romance languages, Italian being one of them.  Others include French, Spanish, and Romanian (perhaps the closest to Latin).

Answer 2

YES...

romance [O.Fr.,=something written in the popular language, i.e., a Romance language]. The roman of the Middle Ages was a form of chivalric and romantic literature widely diffused throughout Europe from the 11th cent. With the Provençal troubadours the roman was a form of narrative, originally sung but later recited before courts. The trouvères lengthened these into the chansons de geste and the romans d'aventures, or romances of love and adventure. It is from the latter class that the modern romance descends (see novel).

See studies by A. B. Taylor (1930, repr. 1969), G. Beer (1970), and E. Vinaver (1971).
