Bringham is English in Origin.

Bringham is an English surname-turned-given name, closely related to Brigham and influenced by Bingham. It traces to the place name Brigham in Cumbria and East Yorkshire, derived from Old English brycg “bridge” + hām “homestead, village” (sometimes interpreted with hamm “riverside meadow”), yielding the sense “homestead by the bridge.” As a spelling, Bringham appears in records alongside Brigham as a minor variant; pronunciations include BRIG-əm and BRING-əm.

As a given name, it fits the Anglo-American pattern of adopting surnames and gained indirect visibility through the better-known Brigham, notably borne by 19th‑century American leader Brigham Young, which spurred usage among Latter-day Saints. Bringham itself remains rare but has modest contemporary use in the United States. Variants and cognates include Brigham, Bingham, and Brigham’s short forms Brig and Briggs; Brin or Bram are occasional modern nicknames.
