This interesting surname recorded in the spellings of Bamb, Bampkin, Bamblet and Bamblett, the latter three forms being diminutives, is an English surname. It is a metonymic occupational surname for a seller of spices or perfumes and ointments. The derivation is from the word "balme", an aromatic substance prized for its medicinal qualities. Balme derives from the Latin "balsamun", meaning medicines, the word being being a Roman introduction to England in the period after the 1st Century a.d. The surname as Balmer derives from the same source, this being occupational for one employed as an embalmer. Job-descriptive surnames originally denoted the actual occupation of the namebearer, and gradually became hereditary.

Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
