Barrum
Barrum is a hamlet in the Dutch municipality of Waadhoeke in the province of Friesland. It is located south of Tzum, of which it is a part administratively. It lies directly to the north of the hamlet of Koum [nl]. It currently consists of two farms on a side road of a road called the Slotwei.
History
Barrum was originally an inhabited terp. The deepest farm would be on part of the mound. The mound was probably excavated around 1925.[2]
The hamlet was first attested as Beerma buren in 1406.[3] In 1427 the hamlet and terp itself was referred to as Berrum. There was a stins on the mound that was referred to as Berma stins in 1433.[4] On a map by Schotanus from 1664 it was mentioned as Barzum,[5] yet this could be a confusion with another hamlet, located a little more south, Barsum [nl]. In 1850 the place was referred to as Barrum, and it is estimated that around that time, 14 people were living in the two farms of the hamlet.[6] The place name could possibly indicate a place of residence (-um) in a muddy land, from the Old Frisian word ber for mud. It could either mean the residence of a person named Bera.[3]
