What is the meaning of the name Romaldo ?

The baby name Romaldo is a Male name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced roh-MAL-doh (English approx.); [roˈmaldo] (Italian/Spanish IPA).

Romaldo is Italian, Portuguese, Spanish in Origin.

Romaldo is a Romance-language variant of Romualdo, itself from the Germanic name Romuald (Old High German Hruomwald), combining hruom "fame, renown" + wald "rule, power," yielding the sense "renowned ruler" or "fame through rule." In Spanish and Portuguese records the medial -u- is sometimes dropped, producing Romaldo; Italian documents also preserve the related medieval form Romoaldo/Romoald.

Usage is rare but attested in Iberia and Italy from the Middle Ages, sustained by the cult of Saint Romuald (c. 951-1027), the Italian hermit and founder of the Camaldolese order. It appears intermittently in parish registers and persists as an uncommon given name in Hispanic communities. Not to be confused with Ronaldo, which has a different etymology. Variants include Romuald, Romualdo, Romoaldo/Romoald, Latin Romualdus, and Lithuanian Romualdas; short forms may be Aldo or Romo.
