ArchivesOrigin of this last name?
I have a friend, and her last name is Chrisman, she was wondering where it came from.
The story behind it is that her original last name is Norwegian (Original is Jorganson, spelled differently ofc)
But her ancestors were sponsored to come to the US, and instead of saying their last name at Ellis island, they said their sponsors last name. (They were sponsored by Chrisman Farms)
Any ideas?
