*nurþraz *mann- > NORMANZ > Norðmaðr
Meaning:*
This name derives from Old French “Normanz,” which in turn is from two Old High German elements: “*nurþraz” (north, northern) plus “*mann-” (man, a name of the M-rune). The name was used to denote someone of Scandinavian ancestry or someone from Normandy (northern France). During the Dark Ages, Scandinavian Vikings called themselves Norðmenn. The Normans were a mixed Scandinavian-Frankish people descended from Norse Vikings who settled in the territory of Normandy in France after being given a Duchy by the French King, conquered other lands and protected the French coast from foreign attacks. Norman is also an English and Irish surname.
