Meaning & History
A habitational name from the city of Nottingham in the East Midlands. Comes from the Old English name, meaning "homestead (ham) of Snot’s people". The initial S- was lost in the 12th century, due to the influence of Anglo-Norman French.From Dictionary of American Family Names ©2013, Oxford University Press via Ancestry.com
