Duchman History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

Origins Available:
England

The distinguished surname Duchman was first brought to England shortly after the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name simply means "Dutch," and was applied to the Dutch weavers who had immigrated to England. The term was also used to refer to the Flemish bricklayers who settled in England during the 15th century.

Early Origins of the Duchman family

The surname Duchman was first found in the city of York, where Henry Duch(e)man was living in 1354. The first Dutch immigrants to England were recorded as early as the 11th century; thus, it is likely that the name Duchman predates this earliest known documented instance.
