Newman

Newman is a surname meaning "new man" or newcomer, historically distinguishing recent arrivals in a community.

As a common noun, a newman is simply a man who is new to something—a role, place, or situation.

The name gained cultural resonance through Cardinal John Henry Newman and actor Paul Newman.

In American pop culture, Newman became iconic as the scheming postal worker nemesis on *Seinfeld*, whose name Jerry would pronounce with exaggerated disdain: Newman!
