Name Meaning
English: from Middle English comander, comando(u)r ‘leader, ruler’, probably applied as a nickname, although it may also derived from Old French comandeor, denoted the officer in charge of a commandery, for example of the Knights Templars, and in this sense it would have been an occupational or status name.
Possibly also an Americanized form of German Kommander: cognate of 1 above, perhaps used instead of Hoffmann .
