Eatman is a surname. The surnames Eatman and Eatmon probably originated as variants of the English surname Edman. [1] The surname Edman was derived from a Middle English given name (also spelled Edeman, Adman, or Ademan), itself probably from an Old English given name consisting of ead "prosperity" and mann "person", though that Old English given name is unattested. Other variants of the surname Edman include Edmans and Edmands. [2] The 2010 United States Census found 1,183 people with the surname Eatman, making it the 21,940th-most-common name in the country.
