I Ekwall (DEPN): ”The name is borrowed from France, whereFromentel is a common name. One in Pas de Calais isFrigidum Mantellum 1233, Froitmantel 1279 &c. The namemeans ‘cold cloak’. It may be explained by the Swedish sayingthat ‘the forest is the poor man’s jacket’. The forest would beat best a cold cloak.”
I Coates (PN Hampshire): ”A French name, ‘cold cloak’ [. . . ].It is probably a transferred name, . . . ”
I Mills (British PNs): ditto

Rue Fromentel, Paris (rive gauche)
I Jaillot, 1774: Rue Fromentel. . . . Ce nom est une abbreviationde celui de Froid-mantel: le Cartulaire de Ste Genevieve de1243 l’indique ainsi, vicus qui dicitur Frigidum Mantellum; &celui de Sorbonne, en 1250, vicus Frigidi Mantelli,Fretmentel. . . . Dans tous les Actes des siecles suivants, on litFretmental, Froit-Mantel & Fromentel.
Rue Fromentel, Paris (rive gauche)
I de Laval, 1834: Les rues de la Bibliotheque, de Chantre,Pierre-Lescot, Froidmentel ou Fromanteau, servent de refugea la classe des malfaiteurs de Paris. Les soirs, on apercoit dedistance, a la facade de maisons souvent suspectes, unelanterne carree, d’une transparence sale, qui laisse lire, ou apeu pres, ces mots, Ici on loge a la nuit. Une nuee debacchantes sont la, a faire entendre leurs chants obscenes oua se moquer des provinciaux, quand elles ne peuvent rien deplus.
Rue Fromentel, Paris (rive gauche)
I Jacob, 1858: La rue Froidmantel, qu’on a nommeealternativement Fremantel, Fresmentel, Fremanteau, etc., enlatin Frigidum Mantellum, et qui est devenue la rueFromentel, au mepris de son etymologie, dut certainement sonnom primitif a une comique allusion au ordinances de saintLouis, qui depouillaient de leur manteau et leur pelicon lesfemmes convaincues de ribauderies; celles qui habitaient cetterue etaient donc naturellement privees de manteau: de la leur[description?] de dames de Froidmantel.
