Beckham, a rising surname-turmed-given-name, is believed to be derived from the Old English name Becca, meaning "to tie," and Old English word hām, meaning "homestead." Therefore, it translates to "Becca's homestead" or "Becca's farm." It was largely popularized by soccer icon David Beckham, who played for the LA Galaxy of the MLS between 2007 and 2012. It's not a coincidence that the name Beckham re-entered the Social Security Administration's top 1,000 for boy names in 2008 before rising to a top 200 name for the first time in 2023. It's also the name country music singer Brooke Eden gave her son, Beckham Gene Eden Hoover, in November 2024.
