The surname Heming or Hemming has its origins in ancient Ireland. It is derived from the Gaelic name "Ó hIomáin" or "Ó hUimhín," which translates to "descendant of Iomán" or "descendant of Uimhín." The name Iomán is believed to mean "arrow," while Uimhín signifies "sweet" or "pleasant."
The Heming or Hemming surname can be traced back to the early medieval period when clans and families began adopting surnames to distinguish themselves. Those who bore this name were likely descendants of an ancestor who was given the name Iomán or Uimhín as a personal name or nickname, possibly due to their skill or characteristic associated with arrows or sweetness.
The Heming or Hemming family was primarily concentrated in the province of Munster in southwestern Ireland. They were a part of the larger Dalcassian kindred, which was one of the most powerful and influential dynasties in early medieval Ireland. The Dalcassians were renowned for their military prowess and played a significant role in Irish history, particularly in the defense and preservation of the kingdom of Munster.
Over time, the Heming or Hemming family spread across Ireland and beyond, as many Irish people emigrated during times of famine and economic hardship. Today, individuals with the surname Heming or Hemming can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in countries with significant Irish diaspora communities.
