It does not mean "Where are you, Romeo?" as most people assume. "Wherefore" means "why," so what Juliet was really asking was "Why are you Romeo?" because she doesn't like how she fell in love with Romeo, a Montague, someone she couldn't have.

How do you spell where for art thou?

It is spelled "wherefore art thou".Wherefore does not mean where. It means for what reason, or why.So when Juliet says, "O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" she means, "O Romeo, Romeo, why are you Romeo?" That is, why are you a guy called Romeo Montague instead of the same guy with a different name? That's why later on in the same speech she says, "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet."Please correct anyone you hear trying to say that "wherefore" means "where".
