One possibility is that \"Ormsby\" then is some \ntranslation of \"Pendragon\". FWIW, the story of Orm, one of the first \nrulers of the Vikings who landed in Scotland, is as follows: The king \npromised that the first man to lay foot on the soil would be the ruler \nof the conquered land. Young Orm lost his leg in a sea battle with the \nScots. He tied up his stump and survived. On arrival to the shore he \nthrew his leg on to land, thus being the \"first to set foot\".  All of \nthis is gleaned from  http://www.ormsby.org/genie/Surname.html  (Kieran \nMullen) "
