Fleming

Fleming \Flem"ing\, n. A native or inhabitant of Flanders.

Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary
Fleming

from Old English Flæming "native or inhabitant of Flanders," from Old Dutch Vlaemingh, Old Frisian Fleming, both from Proto-Germanic *Flam- (see Flanders). The Germanic name was borrowed in Medieval Latin as Flamingus, hence Spanish Flamenco, Provençal Flamenc, etc. French has flandrin "a lanky lad" (15c.), originally a nickname of a Fleming, thence "any tall and meagre man," as they were thought to be [Kitchin].\n

Fleming (crater)

Fleming is a large lunar crater that is located on the Moon's far side, and cannot be seen from the Earth. It lies about a crater diameter to the east-northeast of Hertz, and to the northwest of Lobachevskiy.

The low rim of this formation is heavily eroded and overlaid by multiple smaller craters. The most notable of these is Fleming N along the southern rim, while another, only slightly smaller crater cuts across the lower eastern rim. The interior floor is also marked by a number of small impacts and a few ghost-crater rims.

Prior to naming in 1970 by the IAU, this crater was known as Crater 203.
