The history of the last name Jarmin

The surname Jarmin is believed to have originated in England, specifically in the northern counties of Yorkshire and Lancashire. It is thought to have derived from the Old English personal name "Gærmund," which is composed of the elements "gær" meaning "spear" and "mund" meaning "protection" or "hand."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as "Germund" and "Germund de Gernun." This suggests that the name may have been brought to England by Norman settlers following the Norman conquest of 1066.

During the Middle Ages, the name underwent various spelling variations, including "Jarmin," "Jermyn," "Jermain," and "Germain." These variations likely arose due to regional dialects and the inconsistent spelling practices of the time.

The surname Jarmin has been associated with several notable individuals throughout history. One such individual was Sir Robert Jermyn (1538-1614), a member of the English gentry from Norfolk, who served as a Member of Parliament and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth I.

Another prominent bearer of the name was Henry Jermyn, 1st Earl of St. Albans (1604-1684), a courtier and politician during the reigns of Charles I and Charles II. He was a close friend and confidant of Queen Henrietta Maria and held various important positions, including Lord Chamberlain and Warden of the New Forest.

In the literary world, the name was borne by Laurence Jermyn (1624-1700), an English poet and courtier who served as the Master of the Horse to King James II.

The name can also be found in the annals of military history. Major-General Thomas Jermyn (1633-1659) was an English soldier who fought for the Royalist cause during the English Civil War and was killed in action at the Battle of Litchfield.

Another notable bearer of the name was Sir William Jermyn (1677-1743), a British naval officer who served as Governor of the Bahamas and played a role in the War of the Quadruple Alliance against Spain.
