Mr. Pedantic reminds you that “Wherefore” means “Why,” not “Where.” Shakespeare’s Juliet is asking why his name is “Romeo,” not where he is. That’s why the next line is “What’s in a name?” She’s trying to reconcile the fact that Romeo is from the family that is feuding with hers.

It just oozes romance, doesn’t it?

And she wouldn’t be using “wherefore”, either. More of a “where the …” instead.

A proper millennial Romeo would be texting her while he is driving.

Nice touch – the boy out front in his car honking the horn. Such a gentleman.

Raise your hand if, like me, you learned the definition of “wherefore” from Charles Schulz? (https://www.gocomics.com/peanuts/1966/12/17)
