The history of the last name Sidhom

The surname SIDHOM has its origins in India, specifically in the southern regions of Tamil Nadu and Kerala. It dates back to the early medieval period, around the 9th century CE.

SIDHOM is believed to have evolved from the Tamil word "siththan," which was the title given to individuals who had attained spiritual enlightenment and mastery over various domains, including medicine, alchemy, and yogic practices. These individuals were highly revered in ancient South Indian society, and their surnames often reflected their spiritual achievements.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name SIDHOM can be found in the ancient Tamil literary work "Tirumantiram," written by the renowned mystic and poet Tirumular, who lived around the 6th or 7th century CE. This work contains references to several individuals with the surname SIDHOM, indicating their association with the siddha tradition.
