LORMAN Family History

This interesting surname is of early medieval English origin, and is an occupational name for the servant of Lor, itself a medieval male given name having two possible sources.

The idea of the laurel as a symbol of victory was probably the principal reason for the popularity of the name, and its pet forms and diminutives include: Lawrie, Laurie, Lorry, Lar(kin) and Lor(kin).
