"This is the patronymic form of the personal name "Odam"," "In Old English pre 7th Century the word "athum" meant "son-in-law" and in Middle English had become "Odam"" "The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Walter Odam. which was dated 1313 in the Court Rolls of the Manor of Wakefield, Yorkshire. during the reign of King Edward 11" So it looks likes it is an English name.
Reply:It's english....It means ''son in law''.
