The name Gurmels probably originated from the Romance word "curtis" (farm, land ownership) and a Germanic personal name (probably "mundo"), i.e. Curtismundo. Over time, it appears in records as Cormulnes (1186), Cormunt (1228), Cormunet, and towards the end of the 14th century as Gurmuols, Curmonnes, and Cormones. The current name Gurmels (French: Cormondes) was first recorded in 1240 and has become established.
