Etymology

Wakeman is the name of a village in Ohio that was likely named after an early settler with the surname Wakeman. That surname comes from the old English parts wake 'to be awake' and man 'person', meaning 'watchman', so the place name comes from a family name that once meant someone who kept watch.
