Morcom Family History

Morcom Name Meaning

English (Devon): habitational name probably from Morecombelake in Dorset (recorded as Mortecumbe in 1240). The second element of this is Old English cumb ‘short valley combe’ (see Coombe ); the first is probably either an Old English personal name Morta (see Mort ) or mort ‘young salmon or similar fish’. The surname is not from Morecambe in Lancashire which is an 18th-century coinage based on identification of Morecambe Bay with Morikambē ‘great gulf’ in the work of the classical Greek geographer Ptolemy.
