Here in Scandinavia it probably comes from the Nordic Saga of Sigurdur. The Grahm sword was used by Sigurdur to kill the dragon Fafner. Probably a lot of scandinavian soldiers got the name Grahm due to their personality:
hard; harsh; severe; grim (spelled not far from "gram").

In Denmark there's a village and a castle named Gram. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gram_Municipality)

from Graham to Grahm?

obingam — 2009-01-19 20:50:18Z

If I have understood this correctly the name Grahm originates from Graham. So that begs the question - why take away the letter a?

And also - since the spelling/and the surname in general isn't as common as other surnames - is it possible that this spelling of the name (and thus all those who bears the name Grahm today) originates from a specific geographical location?(the same bloodline even?).

Best wishes/
Robin Grahm from Sweden

Looking for family from Jackson County, Ohio. The last name is usually spelled with an 'n' at the end. Maybe this is wrong.

Looking for children of a woman who went by the name of H.Louville Grahmn. She was born Hattie L. Mapes in 1904. She died Hattie L. Asbury. She had a child in the 1930's. It listed her as a Grahmn and having had 8 kids prior.

Any info or suggestions would greatly be appreciated. I have info on her siblings, parents & grandparents.

Thank you,

Hi Sheila
It is interesting to note that William and Elizabeth Graham had a son William but I do not know anything about him except he was the next of kin when William died in 1887. My dad's name was Albert.

You might want to check on the GRAHAM listings.

We have an ALBERT in our GG grandfather line & he remained single.

We have part of the line moving to CA & I am in CA, however I was raised in the Midwest.

Part of our big branch of the limb of GRAHAM or GRAYHAM is from Scotland. b 1798, m 1819, nine children b 1820-41, emigrating to NY (four of the nine children?) & the parents and most siblings went on to Ontario, with a few moving back to the US....to settle upon new land.

sheilaholm7 — 2002-12-28 20:10:45Z

We have a Wm b early 1820's Kilmarnock, AYR, Scotland, with brothers: Joseph & Robert, John, Thomas & James.

The Thomas had a son Wm & we are researching a Wm b to a Joseph & Robert ( the older siblings may not have emigrated in 1846 with parents to NY & on to Ontario).

Both Wm we known we are directly researching moved to the US - MI census includes the listings.

The family has NOT done anything about the siblings prior to my research. In the past 10 months, I have found the siblings of our James b 1834 in Kilmarnock, AYR, Scotland. I've found his mother's maiden name & the siblings of his mother & most of the siblings & the parents of his father - which may include the grandparents names.

I've been working on the older siblings of our James the past three months, and following the links of the children, back to the parents - this is quite a process!

Our Jennie, oldest of James b 1834, m in the home of Wm Graham in Detroit, per her obit., so that began the current research process!

Are you sure of the spelling? The accent often caused different spellings of GRAHAM.

Am searching my family history. I have Albert Graham who was married to Ida Pollard (I have a lot of background on Pollards) but none on her husband Albert). He was my grandfather, I don't know where he was from, I know he was married before and had two other children and I believe that was somewhere in California. I don't have any information if he had any brothers / sisters. If there is anyone who knows please let me know. Thanks
