📖 Acerca de Norman
Norman proviene del antiguo frances y anglosajón Northman, literalmente 'hombre del norte,' termino que designaba a los descendientes vikingos asentados en la Normandia francesa en el siglo X. Con la conquista normanda de Inglaterra en 1066, el nombre se integro en el mundo anglohablante con connotaciones de nobleza y poder. Tuvo su apogeo a mediados del siglo XX, especialmente en Australia y Gran Bretana — los registros australianos lo situan entre los 100 nombres mas populares para ninos de 1952 a 1962. Hoy evoca un encanto nostalgico de posguerra y ha despertado interes renovado entre quienes buscan nombres vintage.
