My last name is an anglicized spelling from the Swedish Hedblom.
"Hed" is Swedish for "heath" (or "heather"), a shrub with lavender blossoms that grows across northern Europe. "Blom" means "blossom" (or "flower").
On the phone, people sometimes think my name is Ed Bloom. In school, kids used to make jokes: Headballoon, Feetbud, Bloomhead.
