Name Meaning
English (Yorkshire): habitational name from an unidentified place, recorded only in the surname, but which was probably in Southowram (Yorkshire). The origin of the placename may derive from the Old English personal name Hemma + Old English connective -ing- or the groupname suffix -ingas (genitive -inga-) + weg ‘way, path, road’.
