Archivesnew name found
my sister's name, Deming, is an odd one, and we have been looking for it's meaning for quite some time. the name has been in the family for generations, and it was always the middle name of the firstborn male. My dad did an extensive search and found that the name comes from an old word for "to deem", as in passing judgment.
