(the settlement is recorded in the 11th century Domesday Book variously as Grantham, Grandham, Granham, and ‘Graham’)

(this place name is thought to be derived from the ‘Old English’ elements grand, possibly meaning “gravel”, and ham, meaning “hamlet” the English word given to small settlements of smaller size than ‘villages’)

(in the 12th century the surname was taken from ‘England’ to ‘Scotland’ by ‘Sir William de Graham’, who founded ‘Clan Graham’)

(variant spellings of the forename are ‘Grahame’ and ‘Graeme’)
