Last Name CHETHAM

Summary/Contribute


Meaning Local: Of Cheetham or Chetham, a township and suburb of Manchaster. Humphrey Chetham (1580-1653) was the founder of the Manchester Hospital and LIbrary that bear his name. James Chetham (1640-92) wrote on angling. Both were born within two miles of Chetham, one at Crumpsall Hall, the other at Smedley.
Local: From a town in Kent, England, on the Medway, so named from the Saxon 'cyte,' a cottage, and ham, a village, signifying the village of cottages. A paragraph to the following effect went the round of the papers not many years since: Two attorneys in partnership had the name of the firm, "Catcham and Chetum," inscribed, in the usual manner, upon their office-door; but as the singularity and ominous juxta-position of the words led to many a coarse joke from passers-by, the men of law attempted to destroy, in part, the effect of the odd association, by the insertion of the initials of their Christian names, which happened to be Isaiah and Uriah; but this made the affair ten times worse, for the inscription then ran: " I. Catcham and U. Chetum!".
Origin English, Irish, Anglo-saxon
