as a First Name
Mainly U.S.: transferred use of the Irish and Scottish surname, derived from the medieval given name Lagman, from Old Norse Logmaðr, from log ‘law’ + maðr ‘man’. The final t of the surname is not etymological, but in the medieval period d and t were added or dropped capriciously at the ends of words after n (for the reverse process, compare Rosalyn).
