Meaning of this name is unknown.

Rod Corkum says: I understand that the name means "from Gorinchem" and that it was given to people from that city in Holland. My ancestry was from there in the 1500's and the next generation went to Germany (Wesel, then Westhofen) where they were given the name "von Gorinchem" which became "von Gorkum", then just "Gorkum" until my line came here to Nova Scotia, Canada in 1752 and by the early 1800's here it became "Corkum". I understand also that there are a lot of people in the Netherlands with the Dutch version of the name "van Gorkum" presumably derived the same way. There is also another unrelated Corkum name found in the UK which derived somehow from a Scottish clan but I know little about that.
