Ehmann Family History

Ehmann Surname Meaning

Jewish (Ashkenazic): nickname from German Ehemann ‘husband’ (the word Ehe having progressively become restricted to the marriage contract and then to the state of matrimony itself).

South German: status name for someone under feudal or other contractual obligations from Middle High German ē ‘law contract’ + man ‘man’.
