 England
The name Izzoom has a long Anglo-Saxon heritage. The name comes from when a family lived in the parish of Isham in the county of Northampton near Kettering. Early Origins of the Izzoom familyThe surname Izzoom was first found in Northamptonshire at Isham, a Saxon village and civil parish that dates back to 974 when it was listed as Ysham. By the Domesday Book of 1086, the place name had evolved to the present spelling of Isham. [1] [2] The place name literally means "homestead by the River Ise," having derived from the Celtic river-name + the Old English "ham" or "hamm." [3] The local church is an ancient edifice with a tower, and contains four Norman arches. The earliest record of the family was found here "where an elder branch of the existing family, Isham of Lamport, were seated soon after the Conquest." [4] Later, Henry de Isham was listed in the Curia Regis Rolls for Northamptonshire in 1206. [5] Early History of the Izzoom familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Izzoom research.

Often faced with persecution and starvation in England, the possibilities of the New World attracted many English people.

Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Izzoom, or a variant listed above: Henry Isham, who was on record in Virginia in 1626; Robert Isham, who came to Virginia in 1635, at age 14; Dan and Roger Isham, who both arrived in Virginia in 1629.
