Rohmer Origin and Meaning

The name Rohmer is a boy's name of German origin meaning "pilgrim; fame".

Like other stylish choices from Roman to Romy to Romeo, Rohmer is a German surname that relates to both Roman pilgrims and the root word for fame.

Jennifer Jason Leigh and Noah Baumbach chose this version for their son. The couple's film Margot at the Wedding was an homage to French New Wave director Eric Rohmer, who died a few month's before Rohmer Baumbach's birth.

Like many other fashionable new German names for boys, Rohmer has two syllables and ends in -er. You can think of it as the European cousin of more familiar occupational names like Cooper and Parker.
