About: Gomery

An Entity of Type: surname, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Gomery is a rare surname found mainly in the United Kingdom, France and North America. In some cases Gomery has arisen by a process of aphaeresis, where the Mont- has gradually been lost from the surname Montgomery, a place name in Normandy. This place name is already associated with the first name Gomery and means "Gomery's hill". Gomery was the name of the owner, originally Gumaric, Germanic personal name, that is a compound of two elements: guma "man" (Old English guma; brȳdeguma > bridegroom; German: Bräutigam) and ric "power" (Old English rīc in "bishopric"). This Germanic name still survives today in the German first name Gumarich.
