So would I be correct in assuming the Rom simply picked it up from the surname?
I know Rom have been known to adopt names from the people of the places where they've settled or travelled though.
Also, the
Norman conquest was the 1000s and the Rom I found using the name were traveling through Aberdeen, Scotland in early to mid 1500s so the name could have spread by that time, right?
