Hallam

Hallam is a boy’s name of English origin, meaning “nook hollow” or “the valley.” Hallam may also originate from the Old English word hallum, meaning “at the rocks,” making it a solid moniker for your nature-loving little one. While there’s no doubt that Hallam flourishes as a first name, it’s more widely recognized as a family name—especially common in England and the US. It’s also a surname with a claim to fame in cricket —Albert Hallam, Graeme Hallam, and Maurice Hallam being some of its bat-and-ball bearers.
