Gambon Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a nickname. Mr. Lower thinks these names are representative of an old personal name, but my first instance disproves this suggestion. It seems to suggest some one fond of sport. At any rate, v. game (Skeat); compare backgammon (ibid).
John le Gamone, or le Gamene, Southamptonshire, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
William Gamen, Suffolk, ibid.
Geoffrey Gamon, Oxfordshire, ibid.
Richard Gamen, Norfolk, ibid.
1588. Married — Robert Tones and Joane Gammon: St. James, Clerkenwell.
1767. — Richard Gammon and Mary Berch: St. George, Hanover Square.
1772. — Richard Gamon and Grace Jeffreys: ibid.
Apparently an old personal name. Gamen, Garnon, &c., are found in H.R. without prefix.
From Gaelic ma-ghamuim, a bear; from maghghabhuin, literally a calf of the plain.
Gammon is now a common name in North Devon, in the districts of Ilfracombe and Barnstaple. Two Tiverton churchwardens, in 1720 and 1751, bore this name (D.).
