History and Origin
Graham (/ɡreɪəm/ in UK and US English or /ɡræm/ or /ɡræəm/ in US English) is a masculine given name in the English language. According to some sources, it comes from an Old English word meaning "gray home". According to other sources, it comes from the surname Graham, which in turn is an Anglo-French form of the name of the town of Grantham, in Lincolnshire, England. The settlement is recorded in the 11th century Domesday Book variously as Grantham, Grandham, Granham and Graham. This place name is derived from the Old English elements grand, possibly meaning "gravel", and ham, meaning "homestead". In the 12th century the surname was taken from England to Scotland by Sir William de Graham, who founded Clan Graham. Variant spellings of the forename are Grahame and Graeme. The forename Graham is considered to be an English and Scottish given name.
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.
