Last Name LAYTHAM

Summary/Contribute


Meaning Local: Of Lathom, a chapelry in the parish of Ormskirk, county Lancashire. The surname has ramified very strongly and spread far and wide, probbaly, from 'lade' or 'lathe,' a barn. A distinguished family took their name from this place. In Yorkshire this surname took the form of Leatham and Leathom, unless it had a separate local origin. But the meaning is the same, as 'leath' is found to be a Yorkshire form of 'lade' or 'lather' mentioned above; literally, therefore, 'the barn-house.'
Origin English, Irish
