Facts About
Blackman
This name could interestingly have two opposite meanings. It is a descriptive surname, however the element ‘black’ is rather ambiguous. This is because in early English the word for white was ‘blaec’, and later the word for black was ‘blaca’. So the surname could actually have come from either of these words and the spelling changed over time. This descriptive surname would have referred to the original bearers complexion or hair colour. |
