Holmes is a surname, and may refer to many people. Since "holm" is a Scandinavian word meaning "a small island", people bearing the name might either have a Scandinavian ancestry or have a surname derived from a place which gained its name from a Scandinavian presence at some past time (e.g. presence of Scandinavians in early medieval Britain during the Danelaw).
