Why did William shakespeare write the quote a rose is still a rose by any other name?

It means Romeo's name has nothing to do with his value - on one hand - and on the other hand, he could change his name (abandoning his family) in order to become acceptable to her family. The actual quotation is "a rose by any other name would smell as sweet" and should not be confused with "a rose is a rose is a rose" which is a quotation from Gertrude Stein.
