The history of the last name Sangerman

The surname SANGERMAN is an English name with origins dating back to the 16th century. It is derived from the old English words "sang" meaning song, and "erman" meaning man or person. The name likely originated in rural areas of southern England, where it referred to individuals who were known for their singing abilities or who worked as wandering minstrels or bards.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name SANGERMAN can be found in the parish records of St. Mary's Church in Somerset, England, where a John Sangerman was baptized in 1589. The name also appears in the court rolls of the manor of Buckland Newton in Dorset, where a William Sangerman is mentioned as a tenant in 1612.

During the 17th century, the name SANGERMAN began to spread beyond its origins in southern England. In 1654, a Thomas Sangerman was listed as a resident of the town of Ipswich in Suffolk. A few decades later, in 1679, a Mary Sangerman was recorded as being married in the parish of St. Giles Cripplegate in London.

One notable individual with the surname SANGERMAN was Robert Sangerman, a merchant and landowner who lived in Somerset in the late 17th century. Born in 1651, he was a prominent figure in the local community and served as a magistrate and Justice of the Peace.

Another significant bearer of the name SANGERMAN was Elizabeth Sangerman (1718-1792), a renowned singer and actress who performed on the London stage in the mid-18th century. She was particularly acclaimed for her roles in operas and was a popular figure in the city's cultural circles.

In the 19th century, the SANGERMAN surname continued to appear in various parts of England. John Sangerman (1805-1871) was a successful businessman and entrepreneur from Yorkshire, who made his fortune in the textile industry. Meanwhile, William Sangerman (1832-1901) was a respected academic and scholar from Oxford, known for his contributions to the field of classical literature.

While the name SANGERMAN has its origins in England, it has since spread to other parts of the world, particularly through emigration and migration.
