The Beamish surname in historical dictionaries

Patronymica Britannica (1860)

BEAMISH. The Beamishes of co. Cork have been settled there nearly three centuries, but nothing is known of the earlier history of the name, which would appear to be derived either from the Germ. Bohmisch, a Bohemian, or fi'om Beamish, a toTishii in Durham.
