Hallamshire (or Hallam) is the historical name for an area of South Yorkshire, England, approximating to the current City of Sheffield local government area. The origin of the name is uncertain. The English Place-Name Society describe "Hallam" originating from a formation meaning "on the rocks". Alternative theories are that it is derived from halgh meaning an area of land at a border, Old Norse hallr meaning a slope or hill, or Old English heall meaning a hall or mansion.

  • Hallamshire (or Hallam) is the historical name for an area of South Yorkshire, England, approximating to the current City of Sheffield local government area. The origin of the name is uncertain. The English Place-Name Society describe "Hallam" originating from a formation meaning "on the rocks". Alternative theories are that it is derived from halgh meaning an area of land at a border, Old Norse hallr meaning a slope or hill, or Old English heall meaning a hall or mansion. The exact boundaries of this historic district are unknown, but it is thought to have covered the parishes of Sheffield, Ecclesfield, and Bradfield—an area roughly equivalent to those parts of the present-day borough of the City of Sheffield that lie to the west of the rivers Don and Sheaf that are within the boundaries of the ancient county of Yorkshire (later descriptions also include Brightside and the parish of Handsworth).

  • L'Hallamshire (ou Hallam) est une région historique du South Yorkshire, en Angleterre, au niveau de la ville actuelle de Sheffield. On ne connait pas avec précision l'origine de ce nom. L' (en) indique que "Hallam" pourrait désigner à l'origine un terme signifiant sur les rochers. D'autres théories indiquent que ce terme pourrait venir du mot halgh désignant un territoire situé sur une frontière border, du vieux norrois hallr signifiant pente ou colline ou du vieil anglais heall signifiant hall ou maison. Les frontières exactes de ce district historique sont inconnues, mais on pense qu'elles couvraient les paroisses de Sheffield, Ecclesfield, et Bradfield ce qui représente une zone assez similaire à ce qui est aujourd'hui la circonscription de la City de Sheffield qui s'étend à l'ouest de la Don et de la Sheaf qui forment les limites de l'ancien comté du Yorkshire.
