I always thought it was the shortened version of "hamlet", as in a small village. East hamlet, West hamlet:: East ham, West ham etc...

Well Dear..... a hamlet is a small village. Places with names that end in 'ham were originally the hamlets. Other endings such as 'pool' meant that they were near a pool or pond. Bridge is another common ending.
Isn't language wonderful dear

When they were named, they were hamlets, or small villages. Ham was just an abbreviated version.

I think it's short for hamlet. A little town. Chelten-hamlet.
And they pronounce it UM. Birming-UM
