Chieflowman is documented as Lomina in Domesday Book, 1096, Childehumene c1200 and Chyldelomen in 1346. However, it is also referred to as Chillelomene and Chillomene in documents of 1281 and 1316 respectively. It is first referred to as Chiffeloman in 1548. It is suggested that the name referred to a part of the Loman valley held by 'cilds'. The reason for the substitution of Chiffe or Chief for Child is obscure, possibly it marked the most important of the Lowman manors.
