Yes

Norman as a given name is of mostly English origin. It is a Germanic name and is composed of the elements nord ("north") + man ("man"). The name can been found in England before the Norman Invasion of 1066, but gained popularity by its use by Norman settlers in England after the invasion. In the Scottish Highlands Norman is sometimes used as an Anglicised form of the Scottish Gaelic Tormod (derived from the Norse Þórmóðr). A pet form of the Scottish given name is Norrie.[1] There are several Scottish feminine forms of the given name Norman. These include: Normanna, Normina, Norma, Nora, and Mona.[1]

In the UK, the use of Norman as a given name is "dying out". For example, in 2005 only two newborn boys were so-named: one in Shropshire and another in Tyne and Wear.
