Meaning & History

Taken directly from Norse lǫgmaðr meaning "lawyer" (ultimately a combination of lǫg "law, fate" and maðr "man, human, person"). Only used as a byname in Scandinavia, the name came into use as a personal name by Norse settlers on the British Isles. The name was used by two kings of the Isles: Lǫgmaðr Guðrøðarson (died 1103) and Lagmann mac Gofraid (11th century).
