Although the names of "most" English cities do not end in "ham" some do. The word comes from the Anglo Saxon for farmstead or homestead. |

I can only think of Birmingham. So "most" is probably better being replaced by the words "so few". |

Define "most". I would stick my neck on the line and say MOST don't end in ham! |

My favourite place ending in ham is Chippenham in Wiltshire - it provided me with much amusement as a child to talk about the chips and ham! |

Ham short for hamlet a small inhabited village, many have now grown to be a lot bigger than a village. |

Simple. It's because we English traditionally enjoyed HAM and eggs for breakfast - before, of course, all that corn flakes, crispies and muesli crap. |

It comes from an old word meaning town or village. |

Think it comes from the word "home". We live near a place called Altrincham, in Cheshire. That name comes from "old Tring's home". Apparently from the Tring family. |
