Ruomhildi is Germanic in Origin.

Ruomhildi is a rare feminine name of Old High German origin, built from rūm/ruom “renown, fame” and hiltja “battle,” yielding the sense “renowned in battle” or “glory in combat.” The cluster ruom-/hrōm- appears across West Germanic compounds and corresponds to Old Norse Hildr “battle” in the second element. The medial -i reflects a Latinized or oblique medieval form.

Documented in early medieval German lands, the name surfaces in monastic and charter Latin as Rumhildis, and in vernacular records as Rumhild, Romhild, or Rümhilde; related short forms include Hilde and Hilda. Variant spellings include Ruomhild, Rûmhildis, Rümhild(e), and Romhilda; cognates align with broader -hild names such as Mathilde and Brunhild(e). While never widely used in modern times, it has niche revival appeal in German-speaking countries and among enthusiasts of historical Germanic names. The Thuringian place-name Römhild is believed to preserve the same compound.
