Facts About
Ransom
Ransom comes from the first name Rand which was used in Medieval England. Rand would have been inspired by German names from the Old German element ‘rand’ meaning ‘shield’. The ‘som’ element would presumably have evolved from the suffix ‘son’ which would have been part of the name to denote that it was patronymic. So this surname would have been given to the descendants of a man named Rand. |
