Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I would like to know where it is originated from and what it means. My last name is Foreman.

The name Foreman first appeared in Scotland in the Midloathin District in the 13th Century. It is a lowland family and so isn't connected with a clan

Flanagan is from the Ulster County of Ireland. It was probably displaced by the English plantation owners and forced south from there.
