Warlingham is a village in the Tandridge area of Surrey, England, 14.2 miles (22.9 kilometres) south of the centre of London as well as 22.3 miles (35.9 kilometres) east of the county town, Guildford. Warlingham is the centre of a civil parish that consists of Hamsey Green, a contiguous, smaller settlement to the north. Caterham is the local town, 2.0 miles (3.2 km) to the southwest. The name means the home(stead) (-ham) of the fans (-(l)ing) of Waer(l)a. The letters "ae" right here are the suggested earlier spelling of any type of Anglo-Saxon scribes to represent the audios, which when Norman scribes replaced them was changed with "a" as in today's orthography. No trace of a neighborhood Warra or Warla has been found in Norman messages (after 1066), neither of a Waera or Waera in Anglo-Saxon texts (before 1066). It is a man's name of the duration which has a comparator in Warrington. Today, the majority of Warlingham's working-age population works in Croydon or main London, making Warlingham part of the London commuter belt.
