One of the earliest recorded instances of the NEMORIN surname can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, a comprehensive survey of land ownership in England commissioned by William the Conqueror. The name is listed as "de Nemorin," indicating that it was likely brought to England by Norman settlers after the Norman Conquest in 1066.
