Blackman Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
From the Old English personal name Blaecmon. This name is found in the genealogy of the kings of Bernicia, 765; and in the Durham Liber Vitae in the ninth century. In DB. it occurs as Blackman and Blacheman.
= Black (q.v.) + man. A Blæcman was one of the early members of the royal family of Bernicia.
(English) Descendant of Blaecman or Blacman (dark man), a not uncommon Early English name.
A baptismal name originally derived from the personal quality of a dark complexion. It is common in Anglo-Saxon charters, and several persons called Blacheman and Blachemannus occur in Domesd. as holders antecedently to the making of that survey. One of these is in Kent, where there is a parish called Blackmanstone, which may have been named after him.
Weekley calls this "a pure nickname of mediaeval origin’; but it seems to have been a personal name even in Saxon times, as it forms part of a Kent parish—Blackmanstone— and as late as 1279 we find Blakeman Brid and John Fitzblakeman. Possibly it represents Plegmund
