The name Bodiam derives from the Welsh word 'bod,' a dwelling, combined with the Saxon 'ham,' meaning village.
The unsourced attribution of the place name to a Welsh word seems dubious. Wbkelley (talk) 03:51, 4 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
I agree so I have removed it. I found some other origins - Bodan Hamm (Bodan's water meadow) [1], Boda's homestead [2] or Bodas farm [3] but none of these are really an authoritative source MortimerCat (talk) 05:53, 4 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
I notice that the excerpt from the licence to crenellate in the page on Bodiam Castle refers to the manor of "Bodiam fat man, by the sea". Now that might be vandalism, but if not, that's a weird name for a village in its own right... 82.1.7.156 (talk) 14:15, 19 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
