Coleman Family History
Coleman Genealogy & Family TreeColeman is an English name from Buckinghamshire, England, where the first Coleman ancestor—Colemannus de Eston—was recorded in 1176. It comes from the Irish word colm meaning “dove” or from the Old English word col meaning “coal.” Its popularity as a surname came in part from St. Columban, an Irish missionary. Roots of this name can also be found in Ireland. The family motto is Mors non timenda est, which means “Death is not to be feared.”
Other spellings include “Colman,” “Colmen,” “Coalman,” “Coalmen,” “Coulman,” “Coulmen,” “Coulmin,” “Colmen,” “Colmin,” “Colemen,” and “Colemin.” Notable people with the surname include American composer Cy Coleman, American actor Dabney Coleman (WarGames, Tootsie, You’ve Got Mail), American aviator Bessie Coleman (the first African American to become a licensed pilot), British actress Jenna Coleman (Doctor Who, Death Comes to Pemberley, Captain America), and American actor Gary Coleman (Diff’rent Strokes, The Kid with the 200 I.Q., On the Right Track). The first Coleman to come to America was Thomas Coleman in 1630.
