In ancient Anglo-Saxon England, the ancestors of the Stathem surname lived in the settlement called Statham in the county of Cheshire.

For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Stathem are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names.

Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Stathem or a variant listed above: Mary Statham who landed in America in 1699; Thomas Statham settled in Maryland in 1633; Jonatham Statham settled in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1840..
