The history of the last name Golemon

The surname Golemon has its origins in medieval France, emerging during the 11th century in the region of Normandy. It is believed to have derived from the Old French words "gole" meaning "throat" and "mont" meaning "hill" or "mountain," suggesting a possible connection to a geographic feature or settlement bearing a similar name.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey of landholdings commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. Here, the name appears as "Golemunt," referencing a Norman landowner or tenant.

As the Normans expanded their influence across Europe, the name spread to other regions, including England, where it took on variations such as Goleman, Golemont, and Golemon. Historical records from the 12th and 13th centuries document individuals bearing these variations, including a William Goleman, a landowner in Somerset, England, mentioned in the Pipe Rolls of 1190.

By the 14th century, the name had also found its way to Scotland, where it was recorded as Golemound and Golmound. One notable figure from this period was Sir Robert Golemound, a Scottish knight who fought alongside King Robert the Bruce during the Wars of Scottish Independence in the early 1300s.

As the name continued to evolve, it took on various spellings and forms across different regions. In France, the name appeared as Goulemon and Goulemant, while in Germany, it was recorded as Gohlmann and Gollmann.

Among the notable figures bearing the Golemon surname throughout history are:

1. Pierre Goulemon (c. 1520-1590), a French jurist and legal scholar who served as the President of the Parliament of Paris.

3. Sir John Golemon (c. 1680-1745), an English politician and member of Parliament for the borough of Southampton.
4. Marie-Victoire Golemon (1768-1846), a French painter and portraitist known for her depictions of aristocratic subjects during the late 18th century.
5. Maximilian Gollmann (1820-1892), an Austrian military officer and cartographer who played a significant role in mapping the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
