nottingham Name Meaning and History

English: habitational name from the city of Nottingham in the East Midlands, named in Old English as ‘homestead (ham) of Snot’s people’. The initial S- was lost in the 12th century, due to the influence of Anglo-Norman French (the combination sn- is alien to French).
