The surname Higham has its roots in England and can be traced back to the Old English word "heah" meaning "high" and "ham" meaning "homestead" or "village." It is a locational surname, typically given to individuals who hailed from a place called Higham. There are several villages in England with this name, including Higham in Kent and Higham on the Hill in Leicestershire. While the Higham surname is predominantly associated with English ancestry, there are instances where individuals of Irish descent bear this name. In Ireland, surnames often originated from English settlers who arrived during the Norman invasion in the 12th century or later English migrations. It is possible that some Irish Higham families can be traced back to these English settlers. Over time, these Irish Higham families would have integrated into the local Irish community, adopting Irish customs and traditions. It is worth noting that the surname Higham is not as common in Ireland as it is in England, but there are still individuals with Irish roots who carry this name. As with any surname, the specific history and origin of the Higham family can vary from individual to individual. Tracing one's lineage back through historical records and genealogy research can provide a more detailed understanding of their unique family history.
