Last Name LEAMAN

Summary/Contribute


Meaning The son of Leman, a corruption of Liefman. No doubt in some instances employed as a nickname, meaning dear one, sweetheart. Similar to Leifchild. Like it is used in Towneley Mystries: 'And hail that madyn, my lemman.' But its use in directories compels us to place it mainly in the category of fontal names. It was a familiar joke long time ago to say that there were two Lemons in the House of Commons and only one Peel.
