History: This (see 1 above) is the name of a Swiss Mennonite family, originating in the Emmental in the canton of Bern, Switzerland, from where many of its bearers moved in the early 18th century to the Palatinate in Germany, Alsace in France, and (finally) to PA in the US. Its original Swiss German form is Lehmann. Among the American Mennonites it is also established in the altered forms Layman and Leaman.
