  • John Frum (or Jon Frum; John From) is a figure associated with cargo cults on the island of Tanna in Vanuatu. He is depicted as an American World War II serviceman, who will bring wealth and prosperity to the people if they follow him. He is sometimes portrayed as black, sometimes as white; from David Attenborough's report of an encounter: "'E look like you. 'E got white face. 'E tall man. 'E live 'long South America."^[1]

  "The John Frum cult first emerged in Vanuatu in the 1930s, when the
  island was jointly ruled by Britain and France as the New Hebrides." BBC ARTICLE
  Though there may be "Frumm" or "Frumme" or "Fromme" which are common
  German/Jewish family names, much like 'Frum' may have been 'From.'
