Aeschliman Family History

Aeschliman Surname Meaning

South German and Swiss German (also Äschlimann): topographic name for someone who lived near a (small) ash tree or ash wood, from Esche ‘ash’.

The name combines the word for ash, 'Esche,' with the diminutive suffix '-li,' indicating smallness.

Additionally, 'Mann' translates to 'man,' thereby forming a reference to a person associated with the ash tree.

This naming convention reflects the geographical and botanical characteristics of the regions in which these individuals lived.

As such, it highlights the cultural significance of natural features in naming practices.
