WARMAN (English & Jewish) 1- a merchant or trader, "ware+man". 2- from the Old English personal name "Waermund" - "waer" (pledge) + "mund" (protection). 3- Jewish (Ashkenazic): probably from the German "wahr" (true) + "Mann" (man). ---Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges.
