Introduction

This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about one surname and the variants of that name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. Please contact the project leader, add categories to your profiles, add your questions to the bulletin board, add details of your name research, etc.

Origin of Norman

Scandinavian Normans

Norman was a name that some Scandinavian families adopted when emigrating to the United States. The name Norrman may refer to people that are from Norrland - a region in northern Sweden. Vasterbotten is a county that is included in this region of Sweden and where siblings Erick Norman and Isak Norman had lived prior to emigrating to the United States.

Erick and Isak were siblings from a large family of Elias Edman Danielsson and Elisabet Margareta Olofsdotter. While in Sweden, the family continued to use patronymic naming conventions of using the father's first name as a surname variation (Eliasson or Eliasdotter). When Isak and Erick emigrated to the United States in 1891 and 1907 respectively they adopted the surname Norman and settled in Cass County, Minnesota. Both brothers had large families whose descendants span the United States as far west as California and as far east as __? (Wisconsin).Norman-1065 13:04, 22 July 2017 (EDT)
