There are some people in Poland with this surname, yet it is not typically Polish. I would be grateful for the information as to where the surname came from

Golemo and Golema are Polish and come from golemy 'large'.

You'll find it in Hoffman's Polish Surnames: Origins and Meanings. You can also see the distribution of Golemo in Poland at http://www.moikrewni.pl/mapa/kompletny/golemo.html
