English

Beckham

Male

While Beckham is now a popular surname used as a given name, its origins lie in the English occupational surname meaning 'son of Beocca,' with Beocca being a personal name of uncertain meaning. The rise in popularity as a given name is largely due to the fame of footballer David Beckham.

Beckham as a given name is relatively modern, reflecting a trend of using surnames as first names. Its association with athleticism and style contributes to its appeal.
