Normand is French in Origin.

Normand is the French cognate of Norman, derived through Old French Normand/Normant and Latin Normanus from Old Norse Norðmaðr, “north-man.” The word designated the Scandinavian settlers who gave their name to Normandy, so the given name carries the senses “Norseman,” “man from the North,” or “man from Normandy.” As both a personal name and a surname, it marks geographic or ethnic identity.

Adopted in Britain after the 1066 conquest, the name circulated through medieval England and Scotland, later surviving chiefly as a surname before a 19th-century revival. In English-speaking countries, Norman peaked in the early to mid-20th century; the French-form Normand remains well established in Francophone regions, notably Québec and parts of Acadia and Louisiana. Variants and cognates include Norman (English), Normand (French), Normando (Spanish/Portuguese/Italian), and Normanno (Italian). Nicknames: Norm, Normy/Normie. Although often paired with the feminine Norma, that name is etymologically unrelated.
