Semaine Family History

Semaine Surname Meaning

Perhaps a variant of Seaman. Compare William Semaine Turner born in Gosport Hants and registered in Shoreditch (Middx) in Census 1851 with Wm. Seaman 1781 in IGI (Gosport Hants) and with Ann Seyman 1824 in IGI (Shoreditch Middx).

However, the change of vowel and stress in the final syllable is difficult to explain. The 1232 given name might be a medieval copyist's error for Middle English Seman, the personal name that lies behind Seaman.
