English, NorseMeaning:
"the barn"Description:
An outdoorsy but smart feeling choice, Latham could be perfect for those looking for undiscovered last names as first names. Similar in style to Graham, Layton, and Linden, it has its origins in the Old Norse word hlaða meaning "barn", which could make it an interesting choice for those honoring family who've been in farming or who like the idea of having a smallhold of their own.

"someone who lives or works near the barn"Description:
This is a solid surname choice for people looking for a change from Cooper, Parker and Carson.
