**Waring** is an English surname with two derivation hypotheses: from the [Frankish](/source/Frankish_language) *Warin*, meaning 'guard,' via [Norman French](/source/Norman_language) *Guarin,*[1] or from the Anglo-Saxon *Wæring*, meaning 'confederate' or, more literally, 'oath companion.'[2] 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*.[3]) Notable people with the surname include:
