Name Meaning

English (southern): habitational name from Lambourn in Berkshire or, less probably, Lambourne in Essex. The Berkshire placename is probably from Old English lamb ‘lamb’ + burna ‘spring, stream’, but the Essex name may alternatively contain Old English lām ‘loam, clay’ as its first element.
