“Wherefor” means “why,” not “where.” Juliet has just learned that Romeo is a Montegu, the great enemy of her family, the Capulets. She is saying, “Why is your name Romeo?” That’s why her next line is “What’s in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.”

But Juliet wasn’t asking where Romeo was, but why he had to be a member of the enemy’s family.
