I've just bought Adams' & Lloyd's "The Meaning of Liff" and according to the "book", Farnham means:
The "book" was first published in 1983, so Adams seems to have been a prophet as well as a great writer.
P.S.: The story behind the book, as I understand, is that they've taken names of towns and such from across the world and gave them meanings. Highly recommended. (Random word of the moment: Scronkey: something that hits the window as a result of a violent sneeze. :))
