Exactly what keithyas said ... Rome (and in turn the Romans) were named after the "gods" Romulus and Remus.
The name of Romania (România) comes from Român (Romanian) which is a derivative of the word Romanus ("Roman") from Latin. Romania was under Roman control for a while.

Rome was named after Romulus, one of the founders of Rome. The people that lived in the city, and later the empire, were called Romans.

Romulus (c. 771 BC[1]—July 5, c. 717 BC) and Remus (c. 771 BC—April 21, c. 753 BC) are the traditional founders of Rome, appearing in Roman mythology as the twin sons of the priestess Rhea Silvia, fathered by the god of war Mars. According to the legend recorded as history by Plutarch and Livy, Romulus served as the first King of Rome.
Romulus would slay Remus over a dispute over which one of the two brothers had the support of the local gods to rule the new city and give it his name. After founding Rome, Romulus not only created the Roman Legions and the Roman Senate, but also added citizens to his new city by abducting the women of the neighboring Sabine tribes, which resulted in the mixture of the Sabines and Romans into one people. Romulus would become ancient Rome's greatest conqueror, adding large amounts of territory and people to the dominion of Rome. After his death, Romulus was deified as the god Quirinus, the divine persona of the Roman people. He is now regarded as a mythological figure, and his name a back-formation from the name Rome, which may ultimately derive from a word for "river".
