Etymology of Rottmann

What does the name Rottmann mean?

The surname Rottmann is what is known as a nickname surname, which belongs to the category of hereditary surnames. This particular surname comes from the German word 'rot,' which means red. Therefore, someone who had red hair would have adopted this name. Since the number of Jewish families who adopted the surname Rottmann far exceeds the actual number of Jewish people likely to have had red hair during the period of surname adoption, this name appears to be a Jewish Ashkenazic ornamental name. Ornamental surnames are names that are not necessarily related to the localities, occupations, nicknames or given names of the first people who used the name.
