English: unexplained. The surname is well established in England
(Yorkshire and Norfolk) as well as North America, and there is a
Womack Water in Norfolk, but the name remains unexplained. It may
possibly be connected with Dutch Walmack, from Middle Dutch
walmac(k)e ‘twig’, ‘faggot’, applied as a nickname for a thin
person.
