For all those people searching for free genealogy websites, wow! there are so many!
Any way, I googled the name and came up with the following:
"The name Berumen was originally developed by the ancient Anglo-Saxons of England. It was given to one who worked as a servant at the manor house having derived from the Old English word, "buri", which refers to a fortified manor house and was used to denote someone who worked at such a house.
Before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago, various spellings, with elements of Latin, French and other languages were incorporated, making the following variations: Berryman, Berriman, Borowman, Buriman, Beriman, Buryman, Birriman, Borrowman and many more."
I got this from the following site: http://www.houseofnames.com/xq/asp.fc/qx/berumen-family-crest.htm
There are numerous other sites. Just google "meaning of..."

Looking at New York Passenger lists and the 1870 census of the U. S., this is definitely a name that can come from more than one nationality.

The New York Passenger lists shows one listed his ethnicity as Irish, one as Italian, six Mexican, one Spanish American, one German, one Dutch, three American and one Swedish.

The 1870 census has four born in Belgium, two born in Prussia (now part of Germany and Poland), two born in Hanover (now part of Germany),

This is why genealogist say don't trace your name, trace your ancestor. The same surname can come from more than one nation. Anytime you wish to do this, there are lots of people on this board that can give you some good advice. Just ask.
