History & Origin
Romelle looks like a twentieth-century American coinage rather than an inherited name. The likeliest reading is a feminine -elle name built on a Rom- element, echoing Rome, Roman, or names such as Romola. It appears in United States birth records mid-century, reached its modest high around 1954, and was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A girl named Romelle then would be in her later sixties now, and the name reads as an elegant, of-its-moment coinage. It has not revived, and because its origin is uncertain, it sits among the honestly coined -elle names.
