Where did the English Chrismon family come from? What is the English Chrismon family crest and coat of arms? When did the Chrismon family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Chrismon family history? The ancient Anglo-Saxon surname Chrismon came from the personal name Christman, which is more-or-less equivalent to Christian, which was once a popular personal name. The suffix -man means servant. Christman was a popular German name, and was probably imported from that country. Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Chrismon family name include Christman, Christmann, Chrisman, Cristeman and many more. First found in Hampshire, where they held a family seat from early times. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Chrismon research.

For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, the Canadas, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Chrismon surname or a spelling variation of the name include: Charles Christman who sailed to Pennsylvania in 1763.
