  • I had a quick look on the internet and it only brings up Odom and it is the personal name Odam it means son of Odam. It seems it is an Old English word athum meaning son-in-law and it changed to Odam.

    The surname Olah means dweller by the alder and is possibly Hungarian.

  • Olah is Hungarian.

    I can’t find much on Odoom but here’s a site for Odom in case you accidentally added an extra letter.
