Talk:David Lapham
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Pronunciation?
How does Lapham actually pronounce his own name? /lap-ham/ or /la-fam/?
- This genealogy site gives the origin as "Old English personal name Loppa + ham ‘homestead’"; I don't know anyone by that name so I can't say for sure, but the etymology suggests /lap-ham/. An OE-derived name wouldn't have the /ph/=/f/ thing. --HKMarksTALKCONTRIBS 17:39, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
