Gorman (surname)
Gorman is a surname with several different origins: English, German and Irish.
==Origin of the surname==
There are multiple origins for the surname ''Gorman''. The Irish name is an Anglicised form of the Gaelic ''Mac Gormáin'' and ''Ó Gormáin'', meaning "son of ''Gormán''" and "descendant of ''Gormán''". The personal name ''Gormán'' is derived from the diminutive of ''gorm'', meaning "dark blue", "noble".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Gorman Surname )〕 One English origin of the name is from the Middle English personal name ''Gormund'' (Old English ''Garmund''). This name is made up of the elements ''gar'' "spear" + ''mund'' "protection". The English surname ''Gorman'' can also be a topographic name for someone who lived near a triangular piece of land. The German surname (''Görmann'') is sometimes a variant of ''Gehrmann''. German Gorman can also be of Slavic origin, from an occupational name, derived from the Slavic ''góra'' meaning "mountain".
One of the earliest mentions of the name "Gorman" can be found in a reference by Geoffrey of Monmouth to a Danish king named "Gormandus" who raided parts of Britain around 593 AD and settled near South Wexford.〔A. Griscom and J. R. Ellis, ed., ''The Historia regum Britanniæ of Geoffrey of Monmouth with contributions to the study of its place in early British history'' (London, 1929)〕〔http://www.netservice.pair.com/gorman.htm〕
Early bearers of the surname are William ''Gorman'' in 1296 and Adam ''Garman'' in 1327. The John ''atte Gore'' recorded in 1296 within the ''Sussex Subsidy Rolls'' is identical with the John ''Gorman'' recorded in 1332.
