Waring

Waring is an English surname with two derivation hypotheses: from the Frankish Warin, meaning 'guard,' via Norman French Guarin,^[1] or from the Anglo-Saxon Wæring, meaning 'confederate' or, more literally, 'oath companion.'^[2] Both hypotheses suggest that Wareing is a variant of this name. (Ware, as in the modern English aware and beware, is derived from the Anglo-Saxon waer.^[3]) Notable people with the surname include:
