English: habitational name from some place so called, presumably
deriving its name from Old English blæc ‘black’, ‘dark’ (or
the Old English personal name Blaca) + ham
‘homestead’. Reaney associates the name with Blakenham in Suffolk, but
in England the surname is now found mainly in the West Midlands.
