The Oxford Dictionary of Last Names esplains WORMUTH as a variant of Warmut, an old but very rare German personal name (not even listed in Seibicke's HDV!)

The most likely translation of its first element seems to be "true" (German "wahr"). other possibiities are:

---

wara, "keep, pay attention"
warja, "defend"
warn, "warn"
