Trandum Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
My great-Grandfather immigrated from Norway in the late 1800s. At the time they went through Ellis Island their surname was Christopherson. The gentleman in charge of their immigration reportedly told them they were getting too many Christophersons coming through and asked them where in Norway they were from, to which they replied "Trondheim village". The man at immigration renamed them "Trandum". The spelling was how he phonetically believed Trondheim was spelled. I have seen many variations on the spelling of Trandum since then and have often wondered if all of the U.S. Trandum, Trandem etc. families hailed originally from that village of Trondheim, Norway.
