Romhilda is German in Origin.

Romhilda is a rare Germanic feminine name built from Old High German elements: rūm/rom “fame, renown” and hiltja “battle.” The compound conveys “renowned in battle,” “glory in battle,” or more broadly “famous warrior,” aligning it with the wider hild- family of martial names.

Medieval records show the name and its kin across Germanic Europe, especially among the Lombards; the 7th-century noblewoman Romilda of Friuli is a noted bearer. In Latin documents it appears as Romhildis or Rumhildis, while Romance influence yields Romilda; German forms include Romhild and Romhilde, with occasional spellings Hromhild and Rumhild. Hilda functions as a familiar short form. Though very uncommon today, Romhilda has seen modest revival in Central Europe and echoes in the Thuringian place-name Römhild. Related names include Rothild/Hrothhild (“fame + battle”), which share the same victorious, reputation-rich sense.
