About the name Hisham
Hisham comes from the root h-sh-m, to break something dry, and the old Arabs connected it with breaking bread to feed guests, so the name came to suggest generosity. The Umayyad caliph Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik and the historian Ibn Hisham, who edited a famous biography of the Prophet, carried it. It is common in Egypt and the Levant, where it is often written Hesham.
