Woodham Family History
Woodham Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of various places named
Woodham. Most, as for example those in Essex and Surrey, are named
from Old English wudu ‘wood’ + ham ‘homestead’; one
in Buckinghamshire, however, probably has as its second element Old
English hamm ‘water meadow’, and one in County Durham is from
wudum, the dative plural of wudu, originally used after
a preposition.
