The barham Surname
barham Name Meaning and History
English: habitational name from any of the various places so
called. Most, for example those in Cambridgeshire and Suffolk, are
named with Old English beorg ‘hill’ + ham
‘homestead’. The one in Kent, however, is from an unattested Old
English byname Biora, Beora (a derivative of bera
‘bear’) + ham.
