There are more than four, closer to 50. The ones people tend to think of are Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese. Catalan and Romanian are also romance languages. All are derived from Latin, the language of the Romans. In this instance "Romance" is an adjective for relating to the Romans--it has nothing to do with hearts & flowers.
