Montgomery is a surname derived from Saint-Germain-de-Montgommery in Normandy, France. Although there are many stories of its origin, an old theory explains that the name is a corruption of "Gomer's Mount" or "Gomer's Hill", any of a number of hills in Europe named in attribution to the biblical patriarch Gomer, but it does not explain the final -y or -ie and it does not correspond to the old mentions of the place name Montgommery in Normandy: Monte Gomeri in 1032–1035, de Monte Gomerico in 1040 and de Monte Gumbri in 1046–1048. More relevant is the explanation by the Germanic first name Gumarik, a compound of guma "man" and rik "powerful", that regularly gives the final -ry (-ri) in the French first names and surnames. Moreover, the name is still used as a surname in France as Gommery, from the older first name Gomeri.
