The surname Tatham has its origins in England, and its Irish connection is believed to have started with the Anglo-Norman invasion of Ireland in the late 12th century. The family first settled in County Louth and later spread to other parts of Ireland. The name itself is derived from the Old Norse word "tún," meaning enclosure or farmstead, and the Old English word "ham," meaning home or settlement. This suggests that the original bearers of the surname were likely landowners or farmers.
Over time, the Tatham family became well-established in various areas of Ireland, including County Galway, County Cork, and County Wicklow. They were known for their involvement in various industries, such as agriculture, trade, and military service. Many Tathams also held positions of social and political importance, further solidifying their standing within Irish society.
It is important to note that the spelling of the surname may have evolved over the years due to variations in pronunciation and different recording practices. Some variations include Thatham, Tatam, and Tathem.
Today, people with the surname Tatham of Irish descent can be found across the globe, particularly in countries with significant Irish diaspora communities, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The name continues to be a symbol of Irish heritage and family pride for many.
