Wikipedia
Chisholm may refer to:
Chisholm is a Scottish surname. It is derived from a habitational name from Chisholme, near Hawick, in the south of Scotland. The name is derived from the Old English elements cese, meaning " cheese"; and holm, meaning "piece of dry land in a fen". In the 14th century, members of the Chisholm family migrated into the Scottish Highlands and their name was Gaelicised. The Scottish Gaelic form of the name is Siosal (masculine), and Shiosal (feminine). Alternatively the name Chisholm is said to be derived from a Norman French word "chese" meaning "to choose" and the Saxon word "holm" meaning "meadow" as in "The chosen meadow" which accurately describes the initial clan area of Roxburgh near Kelso.
