Why was the Latin Empire of Constantinople also called the Empire of Romania or Imperium Romaniae ?

Is Empire of Romania just a vague translation of the Latin name or are there official papers with that name?

It appears to just be an alternative translation of 'Imperium Romaniae', the contemporary name given to the Byzantine Empire, which I've seen translated into English both as 'the Roman Empire' and 'the Empire of Romania'.
