Romang Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
The name Romang appears in 1312 as Romant, in 1324 as Ruman, and Blans Romant, and comes from the word, Romanus. According to tradition, the family originated from a Waldensian (Italian) family out of Piedmont.
Petrus Romanz was a vassal of the Count. In 1312 he held the mortgage from the Bailiff Wouterius de Gissiney to a twenty acre farm at Grubenbach near Saane Creek. Because Wouterius owned twenty acres of his own at this same location, it is not unlikely that a larger 40 acre hube had been located here earlier and then was divided up, from which Petrus gained the part which included the old farm house. Petrus' name appears eight times in the tax records of 1312. Seven entries mention his property simply as a point of reference for adjoining homesteads. This indicates that he was probably well known and had been living there for some time.
