The surname Cuming comes from the old Irish Gaelic surname Ó Coimín, and has come to have many different English variants. The Gaelic name also appeared as Ó Comáin, especially in Munster. Early Origins of the Cuming familyThe surname Cuming was first found in Connacht (Irish: Connachta, (land of the) descendants of Conn), where the family were "erenaghs" (Administrators) of the church of St. Cuimín Fada. It is said that in the 6th century, St. Common, a pupil of St. Finian was a missionary in Connacht, founding a monastery in Roscommon.
