What is the meaning and origin of the surname Roehmholdt?

I’ve been trying for months to find any reference to my surname beyond a web search (which sadly only turns up doctors in New York and my profile on a couple of sites/forums). All I’ve managed to find thus far is that “Ro(e)hm” was a pilgrim/merchant traveler to Rome, and that “Hol(d)t” is a word for wood. Would this make my ancestors lumber salesmen at the Roman markets, or is there something more intriguing behind my oft mispronounced and misunderstood surname? Cheers!
