Nottingham Family History
Nottingham Name Meaning
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).
