Surname

Origins

As a Chinese surname, Kam may be a spelling of the pronunciation in different varieties of Chinese of the following surnames, listed based on their Pinyin spelling (which reflects the Mandarin Chinese pronunciation):[2]

  • Gān ({{zh|links=no|c={{linktext|甘}}|}}), spelled Kam based on its Cantonese ({{zh|j=Gam1|cy=Gām}}; IPA: {{IPA|/kɐm⁵⁵/}}), Hakka (Hagfa Pinyim: {{transl|hak|Gam¹}}; IPA: {{IPA|/kam²⁴/}}),[3] and Hokkien ({{zh|poj=Kam}}; IPA: {{IPA|/kam⁴⁴/}}) pronunciations
  • Jīn ({{zh|links=no|c={{linktext|金}}|}}), homophonous with the above surname in Cantonese, though not in other varieties of Chinese
  • Qín ({{zh|links=no|c={{linktext|琴}}|}}), spelled Kam based on its Cantonese pronunciation ({{zh|j=Kam4|cy=Kàhm}}; IPA: {{IPA|/kʰɐm²¹/}})

The Dutch surname Kam originated in multiple ways. As an occupational surname, it came from both Dutch {{wikt-lang|nl|kam}} meaning "comb" (referring metonymically to comb makers, wool combers, or fullers), or from Middle Dutch {{lang|dum|kamme}} meaning "brewery". As a toponymic surname, it is a reduced form of Van Kam, referring to Chaam (formerly spelled Kam) in North Brabant, near Breda.[4]

The Jewish surname Kam (Yiddish and {{lang-he|קם}}), also spelled Kamm, originated from various German words, including Middle High German {{lang|gmh|kâm}} "mould" or {{lang|gmh|kam}} "comb".[5]

As a Korean surname, Kam is the McCune–Reischauer and Yale Romanization spelling of the surname transcribed in the Revised Romanization of Korean as Gam ({{korean|hangul=감|hanja=甘}}); it is written using the same character as for the Chinese surname Gān mentioned above.[6] The bearers of this surname in Korea identify with a number of bon-gwan (hometowns of a clan lineage), including Changwon, Masan, Geochang, Buryeong, Changnyeong, Chungju, and Happo, but all of these are branches of the {{ill|Hoesan Gam Clan|lt=Hoesan Gam (Kam) clan|ko|회산 감씨}}, and claim common descent from {{ill|Gam Gyu|ja|甘揆}}, a Chinese civil official who came to Goryeo in the retinue of Princess Noguk for her marriage to King Gongmin.[7][8] It was one of eighteen Korean clans founded by Yuan Dynasty officials who accompanied princesses to Korea.[9]

Statistics

In the Netherlands, there were 157 people with the surname Kam as of 2007, up from 38 in 1947.[10]

The 2000 South Korean census found 5,998 people in 1,910 households with the surname.[6] A study by the National Institute of the Korean Language based on 2007 application data for South Korean passports found that 70% of applicants with this family name spelled it in Latin letters as Kam in their passports, while 20% spelled it Gam. Rarer alternative spellings included Kahm.[11]

The 2010 United States Census found 3,749 people with the surname Kam, making it the 8,749th-most-common name in the country. This represented an increase from 3,358 (8,954th-most-common) in the 2000 Census. In both censuses, slightly more than 70% of the bearers of the surname identified as Asian, and about 15% as White.[12] It was the 404th-most-common surname among respondents to the 2000 Census who identified as Asian.[13]
