Meaning: Newcomer

What better way to acknowledge your newest addition than with a name that literally means “newcomer.” While Newman is typically used as a second name, there is an appealing nature to it as a first name. The title is composed of the Old English terms neowe and mann, and was frequently used in the Middle Ages for those who were strangers in a community. There will be nothing unfamiliar about your little Newman, with your immediate and intangible connection.
