Beornham is English in Origin.

From Old English beorn "warrior, nobleman; hero" (later poetically aligned with "bear," akin to Old Norse Bjorn and the Germanic Bern-) plus ham "home, homestead," Beornham conveys "warrior's homestead," "home of the hero," or "bear's home." The compound evokes Anglo-Saxon society, where ham marked a settled estate and beorn celebrated valor and noble status.

As a personal name, Beornham is extremely rare; its elements are better preserved in English place-names such as Barnham (recorded in the Domesday Book), which derive from "Beorn's homestead." This makes Beornham a plausible modern revival with deep roots in early English naming. Variants and spellings include Bernham and Barnham; related names include Beorn, Bjorn, Bernard, and Bernhard.
