The prestigious surname Reichman comes from the ancient Jewish culture. This surname is a nickname surname, which comes from the broad category of hereditary surnames. In the Middle Ages, it became necessary to adopt a second name, or surname, because people were moving closer together in towns and cities, and it was becoming difficult to identify people with the same first names. The surname Reichman is a metronymic surname, which means that it comes from the given name of the mother of the bearer. The Hebrew name Rachel became Reichel, in German-Yiddish, and it is from this given name that the surname Reichman derives.
