text: # Waring
  
  Waring is an English surname with two derivation hypotheses: from the Frankish Warin, meaning 'guard,' via 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.) Notable people with the surname include:
