Luhman or Luhmann? |
Luhman and Luhmann are not very common names, and I have not found any other people with this name in Michigan, although if you look in a phone book in Minnesota you will see a lot of them! I was curious as to how many people actually have this name, and this is what I came up with: The graph on the left shows the occurrence of the name Luhman in the United States from the 1990 census, and the graft on the right shows the occurrence of the name Luhmann. The spelling with one 'n' is much more common than with two. (Click on the maps to get a larger view). How common is our name, anyway? Smith is the 1st most popular last name (surname) in the United States; frequency is 1.006%; percentile is 1.006 Luhman is the 23,626th most popular last name (surname) in the United States; frequency is 0.000%; percentile is 79.567 Luhmann is the 40,037th most popular last name (surname) in the United States; frequency is 0.000%; percentile is 84.107 Zeckzer is the 75,794th most popular last name (surname) in the United States; frequency is 0.000%; percentile is 89.242

If anyone knows the meaning of the name Luhman/Luhmann, please email me at [email protected]. I have had no luck finding out where this name originated or what it means, although I was told by one person (named Luhmann) that they believe it comes from the River Lühe in Germany. I have verified that this area does exist and is located near Berlin. | ||
