Word Origin & Etymology
The name originally derives from Old Norse and Old English roots, meaning 'the village or farmstead of Sumer'. It is the name of several small localities, including a village in Lincolnshire, England, famous as the birthplace of poet Alfred Lord Tennyson. As a modern cider brand, the name was artificially adopted by the Carlsberg Group in 2008 to evoke the rustic feel of a traditional English country village.
