Looking at the entire passage:
JULIET:
O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.
It becomes apparent that the "wherefore" is equivalent to the modern "why are you". She is asking what makes him "Romeo" and a Montague. She ponders why they both can't escape their family names and associated tradition of feuding and live happily together. If the wherefore means "where" she could be asking what part of you (Where is what makes you you) , makes you a Montague. If we know this we could give up our family names.
