Etymology
Deadman looks like two plain English parts, dead and man, which mean 'not alive' and 'person'. A helpful way to remember the name is that it probably began as a nickname for someone who lived by a grave, worked with the dead, or had a local story, and today Deadman is simply a family surname.
