It was among those Anglo-Saxon tribes that once ruled over Britain that the name Weimann was formed. The name was derived from the Anglo-Saxon personal name Wigmund, meaning man of war. 1 Early Origins of the Weimann familyThe surname Weimann was first found in Sussex but "Wymond and Wymund occurred as surnames in Oxfordshire, Bucks, Gloucestershire, and Norfolk during the 13th century." 2 Early History of the Weimann familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Weimann research.

Weimann Spelling VariationsUntil the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Weimann include Wyman, Wyeman and others.

Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Weimann were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records:
