From Old English Dunholm, meaning "hill islet". In order to get from Dunholm to Durham, two major processes had to take place.

Secondly, after a weakening of the vowel quality in the more weakly-stressed syllable holm, this ending was misanalysed as the similar-sounding toponymic suffix, -ham, meaning home or farm.
