Where did the Jewish Lehman family come from? What is the Jewish Lehman family crest and coat of arms? When did the Lehman family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Lehman family history?

The distinguished surname Lehman is a proud symbol of a Jewish culture, which is found in many places world-wide. In the Middle Ages, it became necessary to adopt surnames, since people were moving closer together, and it was becoming difficult to distinguish between people with the same names. The surname Lehman is an occupational surname, which belongs to the category of hereditary surnames. This surname was given to a banker, pawnbroker, or usurer. It derives from the German word lehenen, which means to lend.
