Waring
From The Right Wiki
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.
