Turman
A surname with a few possible roots, most likely a reduced or altered form of a Germanic or English name.
The #6,570 most common surname in the United States (2010 Census) — about 1 in every 59,892 Americans shares it.
Etymology
Turman is not a single, securely established surname type, and in many cases it may be an altered spelling of another name. One plausible source is a reduced form of a Germanic personal name element such as "Tur-" or a spelling variant influenced by pronunciation and migration. In English-language records it can also reflect local reshaping of similar surnames like Thurman or Turmon, so the literal meaning is not certain.
History
The name appears in Anglophone records as a relatively uncommon surname, especially in the United States. Its present form is likely the result of spelling simplification over time rather than a single fixed medieval surname line. Because of that, different Turman families may not share one common origin.

Fun fact
Because Turman is likely a spelling-shifted surname, two people with the name may have entirely different ancestral surname histories.
