According to Hanks & Hodges' A Dictionary of Surnames, the family name Romilly can either come from the places in northern France (whose meaning was originally "Romilius's place"), or come from the town of Romiley near Manchester, England, in which case the origin was from Old English words meaning "spacious, roomy" and "clearing".
