The history of the last name Ingrim

The surname Ingrim is of English origin, with roots dating back to the medieval period. It is believed to have originated in the county of Yorkshire, derived from the Old English words "inga" meaning meadow or pasture, and "hramn" meaning raven. This suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone who lived near a meadow frequented by ravens.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Ingrim surname appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, which was a comprehensive survey of landholdings and populations in England commissioned by William the Conqueror. The entry mentions an individual named Ingerammus, which is likely an early variation of the Ingrim name.

In the 13th century, records from the county of Yorkshire make reference to a village called Ingram, which may have been named after an early bearer of the Ingrim surname or vice versa. This village name is believed to have evolved from the Old English words "inga" and "hramn," further solidifying the connection between the surname and its geographic origins.

Notable individuals with the Ingrim surname throughout history include Sir Arthur Ingram (1565-1642), an English landowner and Member of Parliament who amassed significant wealth through business ventures. Another notable bearer was William Ingram (1695-1768), an English clergyman and author who served as the Bishop of Bangor and later the Bishop of London.

In the 18th century, a prominent member of the Ingrim family was Charles Ingram (1734-1816), a British politician and businessman who served as the Lord Mayor of London in 1785. He was also a Member of Parliament for several constituencies, including Callington and Milborne Port.

Moving into the 19th century, we find John Kells Ingram (1823-1907), an Irish scholar and economist who made significant contributions to the fields of political economy and literature. He served as the President of the Royal Irish Academy and was a respected figure in academic circles.

While the Ingrim surname may have evolved and taken on various spellings over time, such as Ingram or Ingraham, its roots can be traced back to the medieval period in Yorkshire, England, where it originated as a reference to those living near meadows frequented by ravens.
