Oldham Mumps is named after the town of Oldham in Greater Manchester, England, where the condition was first described in the late 19th century. It refers to a specific type of mumps virus infection that causes swelling in the parotid glands and other complications. The term "mumps" itself originates from an old English word meaning "to grimace" or "to pout," reflecting the characteristic swelling associated with the illness.
