Latham is a masculine name beautifully suited to those born into country living. Sounding somewhat mythical, Latham is a British last name that describes where its bearer is from. Rooted in the Old Norse word hlaða, which means "barn," Latham can be interpreted as "dwellers at the barn" or "at the barns." It most likely comes from the places Lathom in Lancashire or Laytham in Yorkshire. Recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Latune, Latham became synonymous with rural land awash with barns and farmland. For baby, Latham keeps their rustic roots always in mind, no matter what heights they might reach.
