Bowen Origin of Oms, Meaning of Oms Origin: The surname Thompson is common in Ireland. The Thompson spelling is generally thought to be English not Scottish. There are historical records of large migrations of Thom(p)sons to Ireland from Scotland, the spelling of Thompson instead of the Scottish Thomson may reflect an Anglisation {Church of Ireland} of the name. There is also a Clan name Thomson in Scotland. Its origin is Norse not Celtic and may reflect an alliance of families rather than a real highland Clan. - "son of Thom" - Surnames: Thomson Thompson Submitted by: ray 2/17/2012 5:43 PM Page 1 of 1
