Surnames: Furman Submitted by: Eleanor Origin of Urman, Meaning of Urman Origin: Origin: Russian Meaning: Unknown Surnames: Reed, Thurman, Kratka Submitted by: Jessica Origin of Urman, Meaning of Urman Origin: William Camden wrote in 1586 in "Remaines of a Greater Worke Concerning Britaine" "About the yeare of our Lord 1000...surnames began to be taken up in France, and in England about the time of the Conquest, or else a very little before, under King Edward the Confessor, who was all Frenchified...but the French and wee termed them Surnames, not because they are the names of the sire, or the father, but because they are super added to Christian names as the Spanish called them Renombres, as Renames." So we end up with Thurman. According to at least one respectable text, it came about because of Thor, the ancient god of thunder, and was known in Old Norse as ?orr. ?orr + mundr = Thor's protection, and that became, in Old Norse - ?orrundr, which evolved into the Middle English version Thurmond. Thurman is an English Patronymic Name derived from Thurmond as a given name." Surnames: Thurman, Thurmond, Thurmon, Thoroman, Thoroughman Submitted by: Loren Thurman 2/17/2012 8:13 PM Page 1 of 1
