Johann Martin Rümelin was the third son of court attorney and procurator Martin Rümelin (* around 1552 in Ebingen , † 1597 in Tübingen) and his wife Margarete, née. Epp (* around 1549, † 1612 in Tübingen).

He enrolled at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen on May 25, 1601, together with his older brother Johann Burckhard Rümelin. In 1608 he moved to the University of Jena . Back in Tübingen, he received his doctorate iuris utriusque on September 19, 1615 .
