Yetham Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? ^{meaning and history}

YETHAM: A surname derived from the old form of the name of Yetholm. Rawenild de Jetham appears in a charter by William the Lion to the nuns of Manual, c. 1165-71 (SHSM., IV, p. 305). His son Adam appears as witness to several charters in the later years of the same king (Melros, p. 130,131, 239; Kelso, p. 138). William de Yetham of the county of Roxburgh rendered homage in 1296. The seal attached to his homage bears a stag's head cabossed, the crucifixion between the antlers, and S' Willelmi de Yetham (Bain, II, p. 199,533). He may be the Master William de Yetham who witnessed a notarial instrument at St. Andrews in 1305 (Bain, IV, 1807), and the William of Yetham who was granted a safe conduct by Edward 11 in 1320 (Fœdera, II, pt. I, p. 189). William de ȝethame witnesed an instrument of relaxation of c. 1328 (Kelso, p. 370), and David Yettam is in record in Gramislaw in 1683 (Peebles CR.).
