Form of Wenman. WainwrightAnglo-Saxon wan, wagon, and man. A wagoner. See under - (Anglo-Saxon wen.) Wain is an old, but nearly obsolete, word for wagon. In Sussex, a shed in which wagons stand is called a wain-house or 'wen-hus,' and in some parts of England a wagoner is called a wain-man, whence the surname Wenman. Nor must we forget the constellation, Charles's Wain. A Wainwright was therefore synonymous with Cartwright and Wheelwright, also English surnames, and signified builder of wagons.
