Waring
Waring is an English surname with two derivation hypotheses: from the Frankish language, Frankish ''Warin'', meaning 'guard,' via Norman language, Norman French ''Guarin,'' or from the Anglo-Saxon ''Wæring'', meaning 'confederate' or, more literally, 'oath companion.' Both hypotheses suggest that ''Wareing'' is a variant of this name. (''Ware,'' as in the modern English ''aware'' and ''beware,'' is derived from the Anglo-Saxon ''waer''.)

Waring, Jr. (1915–1964), American amateur archaeologist *Amanda Waring, British actress, singer and campaigner, daughter of Derek *Charles Waring (1827–1887), British politician and Liberal MP *Charles E.

Frankish Language
Frankish (language reconstruction, reconstructed endonym: *), also known as Old Franconian or Old Frankish, was the West Germanic language spoken by the Franks from the 5th to 10th centuries. Franks under king Chlodio settled in Roman Gaul in the 5th century. One of his successors, named Clovis I, took over the Roman province of Gallia Lugdunensis (in modern day France). Outnumbered by the local populace, the ruling Franks there adapted to its language which was a Vulgar Latin, Proto-Romance dialect. However, many modern French language, French words and place names are still of Frankish origin. Between the 5th and 10th centuries, Frankish spoken in Northeastern France, present-day Belgium, and the Netherlands is subsequently referred to as Old Dutch, whereas the Frankish varieties spoken in the Rhineland were heavily influenced by Elbe Germanic, Elbe Germanic dialects and the Second Germanic consonant shift and formed part of the modern Central Franconian and Rhine Franco ...
