As far as I can tell, Liebmann's come from anywhere from the Western Limits of the Prussian Kingdom to Russia and from Austria to Pommerania. However, there seems to have been more that came from the following areas:
In the US there are about 2,000 Liebmanns and Liebmans. In Germany, there are about 800. There are some in Austria too, but I haven't come up with a number for that.
My ancestors came the northern part of Saxony, where there are still many Liebmanns.
No, although in the US this is almost true. My ancestors were Lutherns from Saxony.
Litterally, love-man. It most likely meant a beloved or well liked person. I have seen a Yiddish interpratation which said decendant of Levi. Regardless of what the name means, we Liebmanns are great people.
My Liebmann ancestors came to the US from Söllichau, Saxony in 1865. They settled in Missouri and later moved to Kansas.
Some information on Söllichau can
