The meaning of Omohundro
Origin undetermined. Compare Mohundro. History: Richard Omohundro, reportedly from England, is recorded in Westmoreland County, VA, as early as 1670. However, his surname is not recognizably English in formation; supposed derivations from the Norman surname Mohun or from a non-existent “Ormus Hundred” (sub-county administrative unit) in Lancashire are etymologically and historically impossible.
