Origin of Allam Total Records: 1  Origin of Allam, Meaning of Allam Origin: HALLAM - English Pronounced: HAL-am MEANING: From a surname which was derived from a place name meaning either "at the rocks" or "at the nook" or "dweller at the rocks" in Old English. ORIGIN:The origin of the HALLAM name is very hard to ascertain. Numerous people have investigated the origin, of which I am indebted to (Robert Hallam & Desmond Holden). There is a school of thought that there may be two origins, one from the villages on the outskirts of Ilkeston in Derbyshire and the other from the Yorkshire Sheffield area. There is a possible third - HALAM, northeast of Nottingham, though this is remote.
