Latham (pronounced 'lay-thm') is a surname name is of Old Scandinavian origin which derives from any one of the following places: Latham, in West Yorkshire; Lathom, in Lancashire; and Laytham in East Yorkshire. All of these share the same meaning and derivation, which is "(place of or by) the barns", derived from the Old Norse "hlatha", barn. Lathom in Lancashire is recorded as "Latune" in the Domesday Book of 1086, and in the 1201 Pipe Rolls of the county as "Lathum". "Laytham" in East Yorkshire appears as "Ladone" in the Domesday Book. Locational surnames were usually acquired by those former inhabitants of a place who moved to another area, and were thereafter best identified by the name of their birthplace. The modern surname can be found as Latham, Lathom, Laytham, Leatham, Lathem, Latam, and Leedham . The marriage of John Leatham and Kathleen Lee was recorded in Carlton near Snaith in Yorkshire on 28 January 1626. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Robert de Latham (witness), which was dated 1204, in the "Yorkshire Assize Court Rolls", during the reign of King John, known as "Lackland", 1199 - 1216. 〔http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Latham〕 Notable people with the surname include: * Aaron Latham, American journalist * Arlie Latham, American baseball player * Arthur Latham, Former Labour MP (Westminster) and Councillor * Cassandra Latham, British witch * Charles Latham, Australian politician * Charles Latham, 1st Baron Latham, British politician * Charles Latham MRCS LSA (1816–1907) English physician and surgeon from Sandbach. * Chris Latham (baseball player) * Chris Latham (rugby player), Australian rugby union player * Christine Latham, Canadian soccer player * Earle O.
