Surname DORMAN
I'm looking for information on the meaning/ethnicity of my last name--Dorman. I know that there is some Irish/English background, but other than that I'm unsure. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

...using nauatl as word base, and taking a cue from one of the grimm bros that t decays to d(as he thought within old teuton, but if there is an original language as i surely think, then it applies to all the subsequent languages set free fron parent nauatl by the application of the alfabet), so, going back in time to nauatl: d/tz
h/th/r-l/t, at t we are within nauatl, the last stop would be tl, but
following grimm d/torman, then the r-l flip=tol/rman, from tol,and hurt,toloa(N), repeater. the man,the tolucans did, and took the pain.
