The proud and noble English surname of "Lamm" is to be found in Northumberland, where they were Lords of the Manor of West Denton. However, the earliest record of this surname is in the Pipe Rolls of Kent, in 1195 A.D. The ancient Anglo-Saxons who once ruled Britain originally bestowed this nickname-type surname upon a person with a gentle disposition.

Some members of the family moved to Scotland, and a certain Adam Lamb of Symperling is recorded to have witnessed a charter of lands in Grayden, around 1288 A.D.
