In all the world, Markham (Markham 
, Мархам 
, Маркам ) is a rare male given name. The forename Markham is characteristic of South Africa, where it is a rare boy's name, the United States, and the United Kingdom, where it is a very rare predominantly boy's, but scarcely feminine name. In absolute terms, it is the most numerous in the United States, South Africa, and Russia. Much more prevalently, Markham is the last name as well as the forename.
