Askome (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈâsːkɔmɛ])[1] is a village and former parish in Falkenberg Municipality, Halland County.
The parish was delimited by the river to then north and the west, except for a small area that used to be an ait.
The cultivated land is mainly along river Ätran and downstream Ätrafors, while the remainder is forested.
Ask comes from ash, while ome means home and is common in hallandic placenames, in particular in vicinity of the village.
The name is first mentioned in 1523. Letters from the following decades show that the village came to belong to Hjuleberg.
