A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

ROMILEY: The great grandfather of the late Sir Samuel Romilly "had a pretty good landed estate at Montpellier in the south of France." His son, in the year 1701, being a Protestant, visited Geneva, for the sole purpose of receiving the sacrament, and, by the advice of the celebrated theologian, Saurin, instead of returning to Montpellier, set out for London, and thus at length established the family in England. Memoirs of Sir S. Romilly, vol. i., p. 2. The name may have been borrowed from the town of Romilly, in Savoy, near Geneva.
