Wyndham is an English surname and place name, usually traced to Old English for "Wyman's homestead" or the village of Wymondham in Norfolk. Writer and painter Wyndham Lewis carried it, and the hotel chain keeps it in everyday view. In the United States Wyndham is new on the charts: after scattered appearances it rose to number 3453 in 2024 and number 2880 in 2025, its best rank so far.
