Meaning & origin
Hurman is a rare given name that appeared in U.S. birth records primarily in the early 20th century, with its peak year in 1923 when it ranked well outside the top 1000. The name's trajectory is stable, meaning it has not seen a revival or notable decline in usage since its highest recorded rate. As of 2025, the latest year of available data, Hurman has a one-in-N ratio that is effectively zero, indicating that fewer than 5 babies were named Hurman in that year. The name is of modern English origin and likely a variant of the more common Herman or Thurman, both of which have Germanic roots. Hurman has no recorded top states, reflecting its extremely low frequency of use across the United States.
Hurman is a rare given name of uncertain derivation. It may be a variant spelling of Herman, which comes from the Germanic elements heri (army) and man (man), or a form of Thurman, an English surname meaning 'Thor's man'. The name appeared sporadically in early 20th-century U.S. birth records, particularly in the 1910s and 1920s, but never achieved widespread use.
