The word Folsom dates back to 14th century where early Norse text shows the word used to mean "having a small amount," or in more obscure usage, "to frolic," particularly in the countryside or a field. Early forms may been seen written as Folvar, or Folkvar. The "m" ending was adopted in the 16th century after the rewriting of Norway's government dictionary.
Later, the word came into use as a last name for people who made their living working in the fields. Today the word is commonly associated with the Prison in California made famous by Johnny Cash.
