Buckingham
Buckingham is a locational surname coming from any of the places so-called or similarly spelled across Britain. Locational surnames were traditionally given to someone who had moved away to a new area, whereby they were assigned the name of their original home as a surname to differentiate them from the other townspeople. We can break down the name to find its exact meaning. ‘Bucca’ was a masculine name used in middle England. ‘ing’ was a suffix added to words to give the meaning ‘people of’ and ‘hamm’ referred to a riverside meadow. Therefore altogether we can take the meaning to be ‘the water meadow of Bucca’s people’. |
