Etymologically, Flemish locations ending with –gem refer to a Germanic compound with –haim, meaning 'home' or 'residence', and a derative ending with –inga. The first part of this compound is mostly assigned to a Germanic name, in this case Erond or Erold, the name of a currently unknown person. In its totality, the compound Erondingahaim meant 'Erondingenheem, residence of the followers or tribal members of Erond. Gem-toponym are typical for the period of Frankish land taking during the Merovingian era. At the beginning of the 19th century, the village had 837 inhabitants and by 31 December 1893 it had 963 inhabitants. Erondegem had a football club KFC Olympia Erondegem, later called KVC Erpe Erondegem (after a fusion) at the Royal Belgian Football Association.
