The surname Barkham has an interesting history, particularly for those of Irish descent. Although the name itself is of English origin, it has been adopted by some Irish families over the years. The name Barkham is derived from the Old English words "beorc" meaning "birch tree" and "ham" meaning "home" or "settlement". This suggests that the original bearers of the name may have been associated with birch trees or lived near a birch tree settlement.

The first recorded instance of the surname Barkham can be traced back to the county of Berkshire in England during the 13th century. However, it is believed that some individuals with the name migrated to Ireland during the Plantation period in the 16th and 17th centuries. During this time, English and Scottish settlers were encouraged to move to Ireland, resulting in the assimilation of English surnames into Irish culture.

As a result, some Irish families adopted the surname Barkham, either through intermarriage or by anglicizing their original Gaelic names. Over time, these Irish Barkham families developed their own unique histories and traditions. Today, individuals with the surname Barkham of Irish descent can be found both in Ireland and in various parts of the world where Irish emigrants settled.
