Hasham Surname Meaning

In N England, perhaps from Heysham (Lancs), which is recorded as Hessam in 1086 and Hesham about 1190. The place-name derives from Old English *hǣs ‘brushwood’ or *hǣse ‘land overgrown with brushwood’ + hām ‘village homestead’.

In S England, perhaps sometimes for Asham from a place in Beddingham (Sussex) or one in Ham Wellington (Somerset). The Sussex place-name derives from an Old English personal name *Assa + Old English hām ‘village homestead’ or hamm ‘enclosure water meadow’.

The etymology of the Somerset place-name is uncertain due to a lack of medieval forms. See Hashim.
