Marmion (surname)
Marmion is a surname found in France, Great Britain and Ireland, of Norman-French origin. English writers have mistaken the origin of the name as stemming from the French 'Marmiton' or 'Marmite' in the sense of a kitchen utensil or worker. Whereas actually it derives from the ancient and medieval meaning of 'marmite' as a representative of another person, filling in a role for another - and in this case relates directly as an occupational name concerning the noble office of 'champion' of the Duke of Normandy held by the family from at least the 11th century. The function was to stand-up to any challenges against the legitimacy of the Duke, and the office continues to this day in the title 'Champion of England' still held via a distaff descent of a Marmion heiress to the Dymoke family. References are cited below.

The first Marmions in Britain were Normans, who received English land after the Norman Conquest. The family retained their properties at Fontenay-le-Marmion in Normandy, where the head of the family was a Viscount and held the office of 'Champion of the Duke of Normandy', and following the Duke's conquest of England, also served as Hereditary Champion for the Kings of England.〔(Marmion )〕〔(Cherry Willingham Heritage )〕〔(Marmionname )〕 The family traces itself: to Baron Robert Marmion, who died in 1144, to his father Baron Roger who died 1131 and to his father Viscount Robert who died 1106 who was as Champion of Normandy allied to Robert Curthose, and who soldiered on the lst Crusade 1096-99, to his father Roger-le-Viel (Roger the Old) who was present with his son at the Norman Conquest of England (at Hastings 1066) and who died c.1075, to his father William who died c. 1055 who had entered Normandy with Rollo the Viking, for the Marmions were originally of Viking origin as were all the Normans.
