dam(also (from) Damme or similar) is the name of a Lower Saxon-Westphalian noble family.

History: The family is originally a Lower Saxon noble family, which first appears in Braunschweig as a patrician and city noble family, in the 17th and 18 Century then also in Soest. The early property of the family was in Braunschweig in Bansleben (documented 1325–1544) and in Halberstadt in Hornburg in the district of Osterwick (1325–1375). The family also owned mines in Werningerodeschen (1515) and in Pomerania Kloxin, Pyritz district (1798).

The family first appears in a document with Eckehard de Dammone in 1267. Andreas Dietrich von Damm (* 1623 Braunschweig, † 1684 Soest), son of Christoph von Damm and his wife Helene von Pawel, came from the now extinct first line. Ten years later he became Soester mayor. A grandson of Andreas Dietrich von Damm, Johann Georg Ferdinand von Damm, became a Prussian major general and acquired Kloxin in the Pyritz district. His son Ferdinand von Damm in turn became the mayor of Soest. With his death in 1846, this line of those from Damm died out. In other lines the sex continues to flourish.

Coat of arms: Blazon in the coat of arms of the Westphalian nobility: Black dog jumping to the right in silver with golden collar and ring. On the crowned helmet two silver buffalo horns, between them a cock's tail waving to the left. The helmet covers are black and silver.

In the Brunswick shift book of 1514, the coat of arms of the executed Tile von Damm (Tile van dem Damme) († 1374) is shown with three ostrich feathers in a silver shield. Similarly, Mülverstedt states that an extant seal impression shows five or six ostrich feathers. Contrary to the representation in the coat of arms of the Westphalian nobility, which speaks of a "rooster's tail" as part of the crest, other coats of arms typically show ostrich feathers as part of the crest.
