Graham (given name) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Graham (given name)
Graham ( in UK and US English or or in US English)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Graham )〕 is a masculine given name in the English language. According to some sources, it comes from an Old English word meaning "grey home".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=graham: meaning and definitions )〕 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Online Etymology Dictionary )〕 The settlement is recorded in the 11th century ''Domesday Book'' variously as ''Grantham'', ''Grandham'', ''Granham'' and ''Graham''. This place name is thought to be 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. ==References==
