Graham

Graham
Graham m
Scottish and English: from a Scottish surname, which derives from a place that is in neither Scotland nor Normandy, but Lincolnshire. Grantham, near the border with Leicestershire and Nottinghamshire, is recorded in Domesday Book not only in its current form but also as Grandham, Granham, and Graham; it seems to have been originally named as the ‘gravelly place’, from Old English grand gravel (unattested) + hām homestead. The surname was taken to Scotland in the 12th century by Sir William de Graham, founder of a famous clan. The earls of Montrose were among his descendants.
Variants: Grahame, Graeme.
