Toponymy


The name of the commune comes from the Latin Romana Sattio, an important junction of Roman roads. A second hypothesis suggests that the name Romestaing is derived from the surname Hromstang. The commune has been known under its present name, which appeared in the Regista Clementis P.P.V. in 1312, since the Middle Ages.[4]

In Gascon, the commune is known as Romestanh.


Twinning


Romestaing is twinned with Obersaasheim, a village in the French département of Haut-Rhin, Alsace. At the start of the Second World War, the inhabitants of Obersaasheim were evacuated to Lot-et-Garonne, to the communes of Guérin and Romestaing, until autumn 1940 when they were ordered by the occupying Germans to return to their villages.[5]
