The surname Gorman or McGorman is of Irish origin and is derived from the Gaelic name Mac Gormáin, which means son of Gorman. The name Gorman itself is derived from the Old Irish name Gormán, which means blue or noble birth.
The Gorman/McGorman surname has a long history in Ireland, with the first recorded instances of the name dating back to the 11th century. The Gormans were a prominent sept of the O'Connors in County Roscommon and were considered a noble and influential family in Irish society. They were known for their military prowess and were often involved in battles and conflicts throughout Irish history.
During the period of English colonization in Ireland, many Gormans were forced to leave their lands and homes, resulting in the spread of the surname to other parts of Ireland and the world. As a result, the Gorman/McGorman name can now be found in countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
Today, the Gorman/McGorman surname is still relatively common in Ireland and among the Irish diaspora. It is a proud symbol of Irish heritage and history, representing a family with a long and illustrious past in the Emerald Isle.
