Telmon Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
The Occitan surname 'Telmon' is characterized by being born in the valleys laying on the Italian-French border: pivoting on the Monginevro hill and not distancing itself from it by more than thirty kilometers, we see in Briançon, Oulx and Pragelato the three main centers of compaction of the family nuclei united by the current surname Telmon (Upper Durence Valley, Upper Dora Riparia Valley, Upper Chisone Valley); one of the first documents in which the surname appears is in 1491, in Pont de Cervières, a suburb of Briançon, in a will.
In the Latin Bible (6 Nehemiah, 11, 19. But see also Ezra 2,42; Nehemiah 7,46; 12,25) a guardian of the gate of the temple of Jerusalem bearing the name 'Telmon' is mentioned (Janitores autem; Sellum, et Accub, et Telmon, et Ahimam, et frater eorum Sellum princeps, Usque ad illum tempus, in porta regis ad orientem, observab ant for vices suas de filiis Levi. Et janitores, Accub, Telmon, et fratres eorum, qui custodianant hostia: centum septuaginta duo);
In the times and places where it can be assumed that the attribution of surnames occurred (12th – 15th centuries; valleys of Haute Provence and western Piedmont), the 'biblical question' was particularly relevant, understood as a claim, by lay people, to be able to read, translate and interpret sacred texts, against the will of the official Church to limit such activities to its ministers only. Suffice it to say that in the Republic of Escarton (1343-1789), with Briancon as its capital, literacy was such that 9 out of 10 inhabitants knew how to read and write and do mathematical calculations (Alpine Paradox).
One of the most widely accepted hypotheses is that by assonance we moved from Germanic names (in vogue in the Middle Ages in France) to Biblical names: Just as Iuta, sister of Louis the Pious, had no difficulty in becoming Iudith, so it is not impossible to think that even an Antelmo, encountering the Bible, could have become Telmon (for example from the patronymic Antelmon, son of Antelmo, by apheresis he loses -AN)
