East Ham's name originates from Old English, where "Ham" means "homestead" or "enclosure." The "East" differentiates it from West Ham, which lies to the west. The area was historically part of the ancient parish of Ham, and as settlements grew, it became known as East Ham to indicate its location relative to West Ham. The name reflects the region's agricultural roots and its development over the centuries.
