Blenheim Palace is named after the Battle of Blenheim, a significant military engagement during the War of the Spanish Succession in 1704. The palace was built as a gift to John Churchill, the Duke of Marlborough, in recognition of his victory in that battle. The name reflects both the historical importance of the battle and Churchill's role in British military history.

Why is blenhiem palace called blenhiem palace?

First of all it is Blenheim Palace. Heim means home- also secret or secure- in German.
