Newmans

Newmans is a surname of English origin. It is commonly used as the plural form to refer to members of a family bearing the surname Newman, or to describe a group known as the Newmans. The name originates as a descriptive nickname for a newcomer to a settlement, derived from Old English elements meaning "new" and "man." Over time, Newmans appears in records where the -s ending signals a family line or group rather than a single individual, though in contemporary usage it is primarily used to refer to multiple people sharing the surname.

Variants and related forms include Newman, Nowman, and Neuman in some regions. Newmans is most often encountered in contexts involving families or genealogical references rather than as an independent given name.

Geographically, the Newmans surname is found in English-speaking countries. It is historically concentrated in the United Kingdom, with subsequent spread to the United States, Canada, Australia, and other nations through migration and settlement patterns.
