Banham Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(English) belonging to Banham = 1 the Bean-Land. [Old English beán + ham(m] 2 Bana’s Home [v. under Bann; Old English hám, home, residence]
A location name in Norfolk.
Banham is the name of a Norfolk parish The Becks, who live now in numbers in the neighbourhood of Norwich, possess a very ancient name. The earliest mention, as far as I know, is that of a Flemish family of Bec that held the manor of Eresby in Lincolnshire in the time of Domesday (L.). We find the name as Bec in Lincolnshire in the 13th century (H. R.), when the knightly family of Bec held property also in Friskney and Scremby (Oldfield's "Wainfleet"); and the bishops of Lincoln and Norwich in the early part of the 14th century, who were two brothers of the name of De Beck or Bek or Beke, are said to have descended from the Becks of Eresby (Bl.). The original home of the Norfolk Becks was probably at Beck or Beck Hall, a village in Beilingford parish, where the family of De Bek or De Beck were lords of the manor from the 12th to the 14th century (Bl.). It should, however, be mentioned that the parishes of East and West Beckham in this county may have been also homes of the name. We find reference in the Hundred Rolls to the name of Bec in this county in the 13th century. In 1349 the rector of Thorpe - by - Haddiscoe was a De Bek (Bl.). Coming down to much later times, we find that the Norfolk Becks or Beckes owned property in Castleacre, Mintling, Geyton, and Flitcham at the beginning of the 17th century; whilst Benjamin Beck was rector and prebend of Norwich in 1708 (Bl.).
