Somm is a modern, largely unisex given name that draws on two streams. As a surname-based choice in English and German, it truncates Sommer/Somer, ultimately from Proto-Germanic sumaraz “summer,” evoking warmth and the growing season. In contemporary English, “somm” is also the clipped industry term for a sommelier, borrowed from French sommelier “wine steward,” lending connotations of refinement and hospitality.

For given-name use, Somm is rare and largely 21st-century, appearing in creative naming and brand‑savvy circles; earlier records are chiefly as a family name. Variant spellings and related forms include Som, Somer, Sommer, Sommers, and the more familiar Summer. It pairs smoothly as a middle name and works across genders. While not tied to a specific saint or myth, its imagery - sunlit days and convivial tables - gives it an appealing, modern meaning: summer-like warmth or a steward of wine and celebration.
