When Juliett says to Romeo, "Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou," she is asking "why are you a Montague?" The Montagues and the Capulets long-standing feud is what is keeping them apart, and at this point it's only because of their name (they obviously don't have any major problems with each other).
Now, that's in the Shakespearean context. Other contexts might change the meaning.

∙ 9y ago"As fair art thou" is a fragment of a sentence and does not mean anything without the rest of the sentence. Part of this will become clear when you understand that "thou art" means the same as "you are", where you is one person. "Fair" here probably means "beautiful". So what these words mean is something like "as beautiful are you". It could be used in a sentence comparing the person's beauty to something else, although the word order is backwards, since it would be more natural to say "Thou art as fair" (or "You are as beautiful"). Sometimes when people are writing poetry, however, they alter the word order in order to get the rhythm right. So someone might write "As fair art thou as beauty ever was" or something like that in order to get it into iambic pentameter.
