Etymology
'*Cuma's hill-slope', v ōra , the village lies on gently rising ground. BCS 155, a spurious charter, names Cumma as abbot of Abingdon c. 730. The noun cuma means 'guest, stranger'.
For the forms Colmanora , Colmenoran , Colmonora , given under Cumnor in DEPN and Skeat, v. 462–3. It was recognised in Stenton (4) that this was the name of a piece of woodland appurtenant to the Abingdon estate, and Grundy also realised that it had no connection with Cumnor.
