Etymology 1
Probably from de gml holm girt, from de osx *helma, from de gmw-pro *helmō, which pertains to the de gem - root gem-pro *helmô (compare en helm).
Older theories derive it from the plural of dialectal de Hulbe beam with -ben → -m (a rather common development in German). This seems less likely, particularly since Holm was spread by Jahn, who introduced several Low German dialect words to the standard.
