Fromson
Fromson is a British surname which originates from the Old English pre-7th Century personal name "Frod", meaning wise, old (having become one of the early church fethers - St. Augustine, for example, was referred to as "frod"). The suffix "-son" indicates the son of, thus the name translates to "son of Frod".
