Etymology
Nunningham is Unnyngeham 1296 SR, Noningham 1327 SR, Nonnyngham 1332 SR, Oningham 1335Ct , Ennyngham 1339 Coll. Top. and Gen. 7, 118(all p). The last four forms all refer to the same man, with the Christian name Elias . This is probably 'ham(m) of the people of Nunna ,' this being a well-known Sussex name. Common confusion in such names as Ore and Nore , Ash and Nash , may have led to similar confusion here.Alternatively we might start with the OE name Una but that does not seem so probable. Cf. Novington supra 305.
