Facts About
Coleman
This name was originally made up of the old Gaelic components ‘colm’ which means a dove and ‘ban’ which means white hence the meaning of the name. However, the family name was given to people who mined coal for a living and therefore became an ironic occupational name. The first recorded spelling of this name is that of Hervicus Coleman in 1166 in Yorkshire. |
