Question:

What does the last name Collom mean?

I've beensearching for over three hours... I'm not even sure it exists.... Help


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Not so hard to find. It's a variant of the names Cullom, Collam, etc. According to Ancestry.com:

English: habitational name, in part probably from places in Oxfordshire and Berkshire called Culham. The first is named with an Old English personal name Cula + hamm ??river meadow??; the Berkshire name is from Old English cyln ??kiln?? + Old English ham ??homestead?? or hamm ??river meadow??.
Scottish: reduced form of McCollum.
