Where did the last name Nation originate from?

My friend is trying to find out where her family came from. And she can't seem to find anything out

Where did the last name Nation originate from?
English (West Midlands): most probably a variant of Nathan, altered by folk etymology under the influence of the English vocabulary word nation. It has origins in England, Germany, Norway and Ireland based on passenger lists.
Reply:It is a Latin word
