The Bauman surname comes from the German word "baum," or "boum" in Middle High and Old German, meaning "tree." As such, Bauman may have originally been a nickname for someone who lived by a tree. Other instances of the Bauman surname no doubt derive from the Middle High German word "bumann," meaning "a farmer."

Early Origins of the Bauman family

The surname Bauman was first found in the Rhine region, where the name was anciently associated with the tribal conflicts of the area. They declared allegiances to many nobles and princes of early history, lending their influence in struggles for power and status within the region. They branched into many houses, and their contributions were sought by many leaders in their search for power. The earliest trace of the Baumann family is found in Strasbourg, where they flourished at the beginning of the 14th century.

Bauman Spelling Variations

Many cultural groups lived in the German states in medieval times. Each had its own dialect and traditions, and unique variations of popular names. Low German, which is similar to contemporary Dutch, was spoken in Westphalia. German names are characterized by additions such as regional suffixes and phrases that tell something about the origin or background of its original bearer. Further contributing to the variation in German names was the fact that there were no spelling rules in medieval times: scribes recorded names according to their sound. The recorded spelling variations of Bauman include Baumann, Bauman, Baumman, Baumenn, Baumen and many more.
