Name Meaning
English (Yorkshire and Lancashire): perhaps, as Redmonds suggests, a habitational name from Whitwham in Northumberland (named from Old English hwīt ‘white’ + hwamm ‘corner, angle’, Old Scandinaian hvammr ‘valley, nook’), the connection being that the Percy family in that county had lands in Ribblesdale. The name may sometimes have been confused with Witham .
