of uncertain origin. One possible derivation is from an altered form of the Continental Germanic personal name Thrasamund Middle English Tresmund with loss of /r/. Compare Master Tresmund 1236 in Patent Rolls (Essex but referring to a Norfolk archdeacon) and John Tresamond 1305 in Patent Rolls (Norfolk reference). However the earliest spelling of the Yorks surname ends in -man which would easily develop later to -mond so this explanation is doubtful. perhaps ‘servant of Tacy’ (see Tacey).perhaps from a pet form of the Middle English personal name Tacy + the hypocoristic suffix -man.alternatively perhaps from an unrecorded Middle English *tasseman ‘purse-maker’ (Old French tasse + Middle English man). It is recorded in medieval Flanders; see Debrabandere at Taszman. It is possible however that the following bearers from Norfolk and Lincs belong with the unexplained name in (1).
