Lehmann
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lehmann or Lehman is a common Germanic surname derived from the German word Lehen, meaning fiefdom. Other spellings are Leman, Lemann, Leemann, and Leeman. The surname Lehmann/Leeman of Jewish families in Alsace and Switzerland is derived from the German translation of Yehuda ("Lion Man" from the tribe of Judah, associated with the lion). In Ulster some Leeman/Lemmon/Leman families were originally called Lamont, a Scots name. Leeman is also a common Dutch and Flemish name.
