Help[Surname] Re: Floom origin?
in reply to a message by Marie
I've never encountered this name. I don't think it's English (language) in origin. So what other languages have that double-o spelling? I can only think of Dutch.

I thought the same- Dutch.
Sagani's explanation makes sense, though.

If it's any help ...I would guess its an alternate of the English word "flume" which comes from a Middle English word "flum" which means a river, which in turn comes from Old French, and ultimately from Latin "flumen" and "fluere" probably "to flow" ...
