Recorded in many spellings including Wareham, Warham, Wereham, Warram, Wharram, Woreham, and possibly Worsam, Worssam and Worsham which may be dialectal versions, this is an English surname. It is locational from either the town in the county of Dorset called Wareham, from the pre 7th century Olde English words "waer", meaning a weir, and "ham", a homestead, or from Warham, a parish in Norfolk, or possibly in some case from a now "lost" medieval village. Wareham was recorded as "Werham" in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles in 734, and as Warham in the Domesday Book of 1086. The surname dates from the 13th century, and early examples of the name recording include William Wareham (1450 - 1532), a graduate of Oxford University in 1475. He was appointed archbishop of Canterbury in 1504, and later he was involved in the divorce of King Henry V111th and the breaking off of relations with the Roman Catholic church. Edward Warum or Warram, was another student of Oxford University in 1583, whilst John Worsam was recorded at St Olaves Southwark, in the city of London, on November 8th 1640. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Henry de Warham. This was dated 1273, in the Hundred Rolls of the county of Norfolk, during the reign of King Edward 1st of England, 1272 - 1307. Throughout the centuries surnames in every country have continued to "develop," often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

This is a surname of some controversy. Recorded in several spellings including Reid, generally held to be Scottish, Read, Reade, Reed, Red and Redd, which can best be described as "British", it has at least three possible origins. Firstly, the surname may derive from the Olde English pre 7th century word "read" meaning red, and as such was probably nationalistic for an Anglo-Saxon, as these people were often red haired or had a ruddy complexion. Early examples from this source may include William Red in the Pipe Rolls of the county of Gloucestershire in 1176, and Gilbert le Rede of Coul, Scotland in 1296. The second possibility is that the name is locational from various places such as Read in the county of Lancashire, from the Olde English word "roegheafod", meaning the land occupied by deer, or Rede in Suffolk, deriving from the word "hreod", meaning reeds as grown in a river; or the village of Reed in Hertfordshire, from the word "ryht", meaning brushwood. Ralph de Rede is recorded in the Curia Regis rolls of Hertfordshire in the year 1203. The final suggestion is that the name is topographical from the Olde English "ried" and describes somebody who lived in a clearing. Roger de la Rede is noted in the Pipe Rolls of Devonshire in the year 1208. Joseph Reid (1843 - 1917), born in Ayrshire, was the inventor of the Reid oil burner, which did so much to advance the oil industry in the United States. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Leofwine se Reade. This was dated 1016 in the records known as the "Olde English Bynames for the county of Kent", during the reign of King Canute, 1016 - 1035. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.

Another variation of the spelling of the name is WHEAREM, which was the name of my ancestor a William WHEAREM because of him being illiterate, name was spelt the way it sounded. He was a convict sent to Tasmania, his offence was being a “Swing Rioter” damaging farm equipment. The spelling of the surname was changed back to Wareham between the birth of my father and his siblings and before the marriage of my parents.
