Flemyng
f-lemy-ng,
fl(e)-myng
Origin:British
Other Origin(s):French
Meaning:Man from Flanders, a Fleming
While the masculine names Flemyng and Fleming might differ by one letter, they share the same link to a region in Belgium. In medieval England, those who came from Flanders, the northern portion of Belgium, were referred to as “Flemings.” Over time, this nickname became a popular last name in England and beyond. Deriving from the Old French word flamanc, Fleming means “man from Flanders.” Flemyng also carries this translation, so it could be a lovely choice if you’d like to celebrate your Belgian roots.
