Origin Displayed: German

Where did the German Hagaman family come from? What is the German coat of arms/family crest? When did the Hagaman family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

The German surname Hagaman emerged in the lands that formed the modern state of Lower Saxony, which is presently bordered by the North Sea, the Hartz mountains and the Elbe and Ems rivers. Lower Saxony was previously a medieval dukedom. In the Middle Ages, many of the Saxon lands were a part of the Holy Roman Empire, which was characterized by the Feudal System of local government. Before this era, people were known only by a single name. However, as the population increased and travelers set out on their journeys, it became necessary for people to adopt a second name to identify themselves.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Hackman, Hackmann, Hackemann, Hackeman, Hackerman, Hackermann, Hakkeman, Hakkemann, Hakeman, Hakemann, Hakerman, Hakermann, Haackeman, Haackman, Haakman, Haakmann, Haakermann, Hachman, Hachmann, Hokeman, Hokemann, Hoeckerman and many more.

First found in Hamburg, where the family contributed greatly to the development of an emerging nation and would later play a large role in the political conflicts of the area. The family branched into many houses, many of which acquired estates and manors throughout the surrounding regions, where they played significant roles in the social and political affairs. Individual bearers of the name first mentioned in ancient chronicles include Heinse Hoke (Hokeman) in Stralsund, 1277, and Johann Hackeman in Bremen, 1372.
