The name Fordham originates from Old English, combining "Ford," meaning a river crossing, and "ham," meaning a homestead or village. It refers to a location near a river crossing, specifically in the area of what is now the Bronx in New York City. The name is historically linked to the Fordham Manor, which was established in the 17th century. Additionally, Fordham University, founded in 1841, takes its name from this area.
