Warlingham is a town in the Tandridge area of Surrey, England, 14.2 miles (22.9 kilometres) south of the centre of London and 22.3 miles (35.9 km) east of the county town, Guildford. Warlingham is the centre of a civil parish that includes Hamsey Green, a contiguous, smaller settlement to the north. Caterham is the nearby community, 2.0 miles (3.2 kilometres) 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 punctuation of any kind 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 local Warra or Warla has been located in Norman texts (after 1066), nor of a Waera or Waera in Anglo-Saxon texts (prior to 1066). It is a guy's name of the duration which has a comparator in Warrington. Today, the majority of Warlingham's working-age population operates in Croydon or main London, making Warlingham part of the London traveler belt.
