Proudman Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a nickname. 'the proud man'; v. Proud, Proudfellow, &c. compare Prudhomme.
1792. Married — John Proudman and Ann Chapman: St. George, Hanover Square.
This name may possibly be taken in its literal meaning, though I am rather inclined to think it is a kind of clumsy translation of the Old French Prudhomme. See that name, infra.
Corrupted from Prudhomme (in H.R. Prodhomme, Prodomme, Prodome, &c. ) Roquefort renders preudom, preud 'homme, preudome, prodom, prodon, prudhome: "homme, sage et prudent, qui a de l'expérience et du savoir, prudens homo, et non probus dominus."
