From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Zamzummims
     a race of giants; "a people great, and many, and tall, as the
     Anakims" (Deut. 2:20, 21). They were overcome by the Ammonites,
     "who called them Zamzummims." They belonged to the Rephaim, and
     inhabited the country afterwards occupied by the Ammonites. It
     has been conjectured that they might be Ham-zuzims, i.e., Zuzims


     dwelling in Ham, a place apparently to the south of Ashteroth
     (Gen. 14:5), the ancient Rabbath-ammon.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
