Surname
The river name "Dumme", first mentioned in 1343 as de stupid , is of Germanic origin. Possibly the name derives from the old Low German dumba 'dust (cloud)' or dumma 'fog blanket'. Most likely, however, the derivation from the also Old Low German dumb or Old High German tumb , 'mute'. The name thus indicates the slow flow speed of the water.
