Dorman is a surname, derived from the Middle English word ''dere'', or ''deor'', meant "wild animal". Therefore, Dorman translates as "wild animal", or, perhaps, "wild animal-man". Another, Old English, derivation is from the Old English word ''deor'', meaning "deer", and, ''mann'', meaning "man": thus, Deer Man. Dorman is also a Turkic name which was widely used by the Cumans and Pechenegs.〔István Vásáry (2005) ''Cumans and Tatars'', Cambridge University Press, p. 105〕 Notable people with the surname include: ==People== *Andy Dorman (born 1982), Welsh football (soccer) player *Angela Dohrmann, American television actress *Sir Arthur Dorman, 1st Baronet (1848–1931), British industrialist, founder of Dorman Long] *Avner Dorman (born 1975), Israeli contemporary composer *Dave Dorman (born 1958), American science fiction and fantasy illustrator *David Dorman (born 1954), American telecommunications executive, chairman and chief executive officer of AT&T Inc. *Eric Dorman-Smith (1895–1969), British Army officer *Henry Dorman (1916-1998), American politician and lawyer *Isaiah Dorman (died 1876), African American interpreter for the United States Army during the Indian Wars *John J.
