Etymology of Frishman

What does the name Frishman mean?

The family name of a Jew was typically left to the individual person up until the end of the 18th century. Majority, especially in Germany and eastern Europe, still followed the custom having their father’s name included in their name. Whereas, Jews in Spain, Portugal, and Italy had already adopted the practice of using fixed family names. 1

The name Frishman comes from the Yiddish word "frish" meaning, "fresh."
