Normans & Vikings...
Aye, Jimmy, my Cumming/Comyn ancestors get their name from the Norman love of puns -- the "first" Cumming, Robert de Comines, came from the village of Comines on the Belgian/French border -- hence, Cummin, then later Comyn and Cumming.
The Gunns supposedly get their name from a Norseman named "Gunnar".
Cheers, 
T.
