MEANING & HISTORY
What does Asam mean?
The Dictionary of American Family Names records a vernacular personal-name short form Asam from Erasmus in Bavaria and Austria. It separately identifies a place-derived surname route from Absam.
The personal-name formation is documented, but the record of a Philippine bearer does not determine that this particular European route was the family’s source.
