Hardham Family History

Hardham Surname Meaning

From Hardham (Sussex), which is recorded as Heriedeham in 1086 and Heringham in 1189. Apparently, the place had two different names as indicated by Heryngham al. dicta Herdham in 1399.

The 1086 form represents the Old English personal name Heregȳð + Old English hām ‘village homestead’ or hamm ‘enclosure water meadow’. The 1189 form probably represents a reduced form of Heregȳðingham from the personal name Heregȳð + the Old English group-name suffix -ingas (genitive -inga-) or Old English connective -ing- + hām or hamm.
