Waring

Waring is an English surname with two derivation hypotheses: from the Frankish ''Warin'', meaning 'guard,' via Norman French ''Guarin,'' or from the Anglo-Saxon ''Wæring'', meaning 'confederate' or, more literally, 'oath companion.' 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''.)
