The origins of the name Strange or Strangeman was a nickname meaning 'the strange', from a person who was new to the community. This name is also found to be of English descent and is found in many ancient manuscripts in the above country. Examples of such are a Stephen le Strange, County Yorkshire, who was recorded in the 'Hundred Rolls', England, in the year 1273 and a John le Straunge, County Cambridgeshire, was also recorded in the same year in this ancient document.

Other examples of this name were found in the person of a Willemus Straunge who was recorded in the 'Poll Tax', of the West Riding of Yorkshire, in the year 1379.
