Wherefore does not mean where.

It means "why?"

This note brought to you by an acting teacher who is sick of people using that word wrong.

that quote sounds really dumb when translated into modern english. Why am I romeo? I dunno its kinda a tautology.

In the scene Juliette is remarking how frustrated she is that Romeo is a Montague. "Wherefore art thou Romeo" basically means "Dude, why did you have to be YOU? You could have been anyone, but no, you had to be a Montague; a rival of my Capulet family!"

As for Romeo Rose, I have no idea who or what he even is.
