Early Origins of the Appelman familyThe surname Appelman was first found in various counties and shires during the reign of King Edward III, between 1327 and 1377.

Sound was what guided spelling in the Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Appelman family name include Apple, Appel, Appleman, Appelman and others.

The passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe; however, those who made the voyage safely were encountered opportunities that were not available to them in their homeland. Many of the families that reached the New World at this time went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations of the United States and Canada. Research into various historical records has revealed some of first members of the Appelman family to immigrate North America:
