Re: Kloman by Sagani |
In Germany you will find Kloman, Klomann and Klohmann (not sure about Klohman). They are all rather rare so they're not in my book of German surnames either. "Klomann" is a word for someone cleaning toilets or working there, but this does not explain the name.
All I can think of is either a methathesis of KOHLMANN (coal miner or cabbage farmer) or a variant of GLÜHMANN (with a U umlaut). And there was an 10th/11th century saint from Ireland called Koloman.
