Awsumb is a family name from Norway. The A-W-S-U-M-B spelling is an Anglicization of the Old Norse habitational name Aasum (also Aasumb or Åsum), which means hills or hill farmstead in the Norwegian language. The Awsumbs trace their surname and ancestry to the Åsum farm in Kongsvinger (Hedmark), Norway. The history of the Åsum farm dates back to the Viking Age.
